[Netease smart news November 30 news] Mining robots like the canaries in the coal mines, it can help automation of construction and other industries.
Enaex, which provides blasting services for mine operators, recently cooperated with the robot company SRI?International. They tried to create a robot miner and called their robotic robot solution RoboMiner.
The mining industry itself is a dangerous profession, and the industry has long sought to mitigate the dangers borne by miners through technology.
In the early 20th century, mine operators began using sentry-type tools, most notably a tool to detect toxic gases such as carbon monoxide. This technology was pioneered by British doctor John Scott Haldane and has now been replaced by an electronic detector. When it warns that air quality is no longer providing normal breathing, the miners will evacuate.
But the danger still exists. Landslides, explosions, and heavy equipment pressures are all contributing factors to this risk. Although the statistics are still very rough, globally, the mining industry may lose as many as 12,000 workers each year due to a variety of causes of death.
And robots can provide a solution that is urgently needed today to solve security problems.
SRI's equipment is more accurately described as a remote-operated humanoid robot that can be dispatched to a dangerous mine environment with remote control. This allows operators to reach mining areas that pose a high risk to human security.
According to a Sri Lankan spokesperson, this may also allow mining companies to pursue resources that are currently impossible to extract.
The mining industry has already started using automation equipment. In Australia, Rio?Tinto Mining Company used 73 self-driving trucks. These trucks are the size of a two-story house and do not require people to control it.
But many mining tasks require dexterity and the ability to navigate unstructured environments. SRI's solutions may change the deficiencies of robots, which may also turn mining robots into canaries in coal mines. They will be used to expand the degree of automation in related industries such as construction.
There were few reports about the debut, but I managed to communicate with an SRI representative to fill some of the gaps I saw and heard.
RoboMiner consists of an artificial bionic torso, head and arms. The payload on the machine includes sensors that enable stereo vision, force feedback, scene rendering, and positioning. The robot is mounted on a mobile platform with four solid wheels and can handle a variety of terrain conditions. It can move like a human within 5-10 kilograms of weight.
This system reminds me of Sarco Robotics' Guardian GT, another remotely-controlled unit. I recently tried to find an opportunity to report on the next post. The Guardian GT robot is designed to enable humans to operate in hazardous environments such as nuclear power plants, but in the end its creators conceived that it would become a lighter road on the construction site.
There is more evidence that the next generation of blue-collar work may involve the work of driving robots.
RoboMiner initially planned to operate in an open pit mine, but eventually it would achieve underground mining. This is very important. Robots can replace miners for dangerous work because underground mines expose workers to various potential environmental risks, including high-temperature, low-temperature and wet, dusty environments.

KNB1-63 Miniature Circuit Breaker
KNB1-63 Mini Circuit breakers, also named as the air switch which have a short for arc extinguishing device. It is a switch role, and also is a automatic protection of low-voltage electrical distribution. Its role is equivalent to the combination of switch. Fuse. Thermal Relay and other electrical components. It mainly used for short circuit and overload protection. Generally, According to the poles, mini Circuit breaker can be divided into 1P , 1P+N , 2P, 3P and 4P.
