Robotics in mining exemplified by Mobile Inspection Platform
Journal Title: Mining – Informatics, Automation and Electrical Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 526, Issue 2
Abstract
The paper presents the Mobile Inspection Platform (MPI) – the innovative solution in the area of safety in underground coal mining. The robot is equipped with devices and sensors that allow the safe exploration and monitoring of these mine regions, that have environmental conditions which are potentially dangerous for a worker. The paper describes in details also the process and results of tests conducted in the Central Mines Rescue Station (CSRG).
