On July 1, 2022 the EIT-RM-funded project named Ventilation Optimising Technology based on 3D-scanning (VOT3D) officially started.
The V0T3D project aims to robotize the RM sector by introducing modern methods and innovative solutions for the optimization of underground ventilation with the main aim of reducing electricity consumption.
On April 27-29, 2022, the XXII Mineral Aggregates Conference (XXII Konferencja Kruszywa Mineralne) was held in Kudowa Zdrój. The DMC team actively participated in this event poster session, promoting AMICOS & ECHO projects, co-financed by EIT Raw Materials.
The 31st edition of the School of Underground Exploitation (Szkoła Eksploatacji Podziemnej) conference took place in Krakow from 11 to 13 April. DMC team joined other scientists, policy-makers, representatives of mining companies, and technology providers from Poland and abroad to present the effects of the most recent work performed in the scope of EIT Raw Materials projects. As usual, the sessions covered a wide thematic spectrum, ranging from the education of future raw materials industry workforce to IT solutions enhancing production processes in mining.
Yesterday the team of AMICOS project held a very interesting and fruitful meeting. Since the last year of the project has started, we are getting ready to show the world what we are capable of. Around the middle of this year we will perform final demonstrations of our system regarding three separate use cases. Stay tuned, more announcements will appear soon, and it will be exciting!
On the 23rd of February, the DMC team visited the KGHM Polkowice-Sieroszowice mine and had the opportunity to discuss the issues related to the Lekatech Electric Hammer (LEH) assembly in the operational conditions of an underground mine.
On February 11
-13 we have launched the ECHO – Electrical Computerised Hammering Operator project. The kick-off meeting was organized online by the Leader of the project, Lekatech Oy. During this two-day session, we had the opportunity to talk about the project goals, share ideas, and develop the best practices for defined tasks implementation. Many thanks to all participants for a very productive meeting.
We are extremely proud of our friends from Fondazione Bruno Kessler for deveolping such an amazing technology of handheld SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) device based on stereo vision. Look at these examplary results.
Are you interested in portable and lightweight 3D mapping technologies? Check out the results achieved by the 3DOM unit of FBK Trento our partner and coordinator of the AMICOS project, with their hand-held stereo-based V-SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) solution.
23-25 June 2021, the Conference of PhD Students and Young Scientists was held. The conference enables young scientists from all over the world to exchange scientific and technical experiences and ideas in four thematic panels – Mining, Earth and Space Sciences, Geoengineering, and Geoinformation. The research results of DMC members have been published as part of the IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science in 11 articles.
