This study focuses on aspects specific to adaptive mobile robotic systems. These include providing flexibility, high performance, the use of widely available element bases and others. The science intensity and technical level of the development of mobile robots are constantly growing. The element base of robots is constantly updated. In the presented article, the direction of research is related to the problems specific to mining robots. The use of research robots makes it possible to ensure safety of work in hard-to-reach places, monitor the status of active and idle mines, and find new minerals in idle mines, the processing of which was previously impossible. The article discusses the issues of ensuring the versatility of the design, the need to miniaturize robots, reducing the cost of the robot while maintaining high performance, achieving the required level of protection from environmental influences in mines, and compatibility with control systems. Various ways of navigating robots in a limited space are analyzed. The results of the development and testing of a mobile robot prototype are presented. When looking for ways to implement a robot, the emphasis is on an effective combination of hardware and software.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
