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.

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.

DMC at the XXV Lower Silesian Festival of Knowledge

On September 16-21, the 25th Lower Silesian Festival of Knowledge took place at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology. DMC had the pleasure of hosting 163 participants from primary and technical schools. After the presentation of the DMC team, the AMICOS, ECHO, VOT3D, BrineRIS, and MEITIM projects were shown. The lecturers showed the main goals of the projects, assumptions, and results. There were also roll-ups presenting the most important information about the projects. Each project aroused great interest from the audience. At the end of the presentation, the students had the opportunity to control a robot from the AMICOS project, take pictures with a thermal imaging camera and see a physical map displayed in the sand.

AMICOS is almost ready!

One of the final meetings of the AMICOS team

In recent days AMICOS team held one of their final meetings. We clarified the details before conducting the final demonstration of the AMICOS platform. The joint effort allowed us to develop an inspection platform to run use cases such as monitoring of the deformation of tailing dams, the thickness of pipes in large-scale pipe networks or the technical condition of underground infrastructures, such as belt conveyors. We are excited to finally be able to present the results of our work, which will happen in the upcoming weeks.

5th Polish Mining Congress

The 5th Polish Mining Congress was held on September 06-07 at the International Congress Center in Katowice. The motto of the event was “The mining industry of the 21st century – how to search for, mine and process mineral and energy resources while protecting the climate and environment?“. The purpose of the congress was to discuss the current problems of the mining industry and the challenges facing the mining industry in the 21st century. During the congress, the DMC team presented the achievements of ongoing projects to date:
