Theoretical approaches to creation of robotic coal mines based on the synthesis of simulation technologies

Prospects for application of robotic mechano-hydraulical excavation of gas-bearing coal layers at great depths

“…The authors developed and proposed the main provisions of robotic technology for underground coal extraction which can be used in the design of a new type of mines [3][4][13][14]. Justification of the structure and elements of robotic technology of underground coal mining was carried out through the realization of the basic principle: the absence of a person in hazardous areas and the implementation of the functions of the operator in a comfortable environment, remote control of the robot during the excavation, coal excavation, the rock mass transportation to the main workings.…”
