The “VI Academy of Young Scientists” conference was held on November 14-16, 2022. The conference was held in Czocha Castle, in the Lower Silesian province. During the conference, three Ph.D. students from our DMC team – Aleksandra Banasiewicz, Adam Wróblewski, and Arkadiusz Macek presented a poster entitled: “Analysis of forced airflow and temperature distribution in the climate-controlled operator cabin of a lump breaking machine“.

Field measurements as part of the AMICOS and VOT3D projects!
This week the DMC team performed field measurements in the scope of AMICOS and VOT3D EIT Raw Materials projects. The trials took place in the underground tunnels of the “Rzeczka” complex (named after a nearby village) in Walim, Lower Silesia. The site is one of 7 former Nazi underground facilities in the Owl Mountains, constituting an unfinished massive underground construction project “Riese” (“giant” in German) of mysterious purpose. Unique conditions in the tunnels, namely a combination of irregularly-shaped rock corridors made through blasting with concrete-reinforced structures, as well as the presence of water reservoirs and darkness, create a challenging environment for mobile robots. DMC members performed various 3D data acquisitions, including a precise laser scanning survey of approximately 14 000 m³ of the subterranean volume.

The last month, a PhD student and member of DMC, Paweł Trybała, visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Together with other young scientists from the Technical University of Freiberg, involved in robotics and AI-related research, they participated in the work of Professor Herbert Einstein’s group and also met various other prominent researchers from different MIT teams. The exchange project named Smart Underground Space Exploration and Analysis focused on the investigation of novel methods for the acquisition and analysis of data related to diverse fields of engineering in subterranean environments, such as geology, mining and tunneling.
Special Issue “Dynamics Control and Vibration Monitoring in Industrial Machines”
Workshop 07.10.2022 r.
On October 7th DMC team organised a workshop for pupils from II LO from Słupsk. Our GEO-3EM visited over 50 school-students with their teachers. During workshops they had chance to get to know more about innovations in the raw materials sector, digital transformation in mining industry and moder instruments which are used to measure the geometry of excavation.

ECHO consortium meeting in Finland
On July 12-13, 2022, a meeting of ECHO project consortium took place at Radalla Resort in Finland. The main purpose of the kick-off meeting was to discuss the action strategy and work out an agreement between the members of the project on personal tasks of partners and collaboration between them.
The participants of the event were LEKATECH, KGHM Polska Miedź S.A., MNLT Innovations P.C., ISMC and Wroclaw University of Science and Technology.
