Research and Innovation in Exploration and Mining of Raw Materials: The ROBOMINERS Project

ROBOMINERS is a new project funded under the European Union’s Research and Innovation Programme Horizon 2020, which aims at employing bio-inspired robot, focused on prospect of mineral exploration extraction within Europe. ROBOMINERS’ innovative approach combines creation mining ecosystem through development bioinspired robotic miner prototype, able to explore mine deposits are currently considered uneconomic due their small size difficulty access. The main objectives include database potentially suitable locations for deployment this novel technology. building pan-EU vital as it will provide essential information related deposit type commodities, spatial temporal distribution, location targets. Several have been reviewed examined in Greece potential targets technology, after considering specific restrictions requirements project. determined arranged according different aspects required by applicability
