ROBOMINERS project

ROBOMINERS is a 54-months Horizon 2020 project funded by the European Commission that started on 1 June 2019. ROBOMINERS will develop a bioinspired, modular and reconfigurable robot-miner for small and difficult to access deposits. The aim is to create a prototype robot that is capable of mining underground, underwater in a flooded environment, and can be delivered in modules to the deposit via a large diameter borehole drilled from the surface to the mineral deposit.
