| Welcome to RoboMine |
|
What is the mining industry going to look like in the 22nd century? I wish I knew the answer! Our goal in RoboMine is to maintain it as the expanding source of news, views, opinions, and information on robotics and automation with emphasis on their application in mining technology. We want to educate, inspire, and connect those who want to know more about the fascinating and ever-expanding technology of robotics and intelligent systems. We know that now in mining, this new wave of technological advances is knocking down the doors of conventional mining methods with improved systems. Please feel free to advise us of any other improvements you would like us to make to RoboMine. Enjoy your visit!
