Project description and overview
Universal Field Robots (UFR) in collaborate with IMDEX will design, build and test an autonomous robotic platform for underground which will navigate to position, locate and survey drill holes, clean the blasthole and measure deviation and material characteristics. Data collected will be transmitted to enable improved data analysis and decision making. This project aligns with the Zero Entry mining automation ambitions of the mining industry and will improve the quality of the ore mined due to better blasting practices.
