The project develops autonomous robotic systems for mineral exploration in challenging underground conditions. The consortium, coordinated by Anton Koval, includes the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Lule\u00e5 University of Technology, University of Patras, Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, IMA-Europe, TERNA S.A. and Wroc\u0142aw University of Science and Technology. Our university and the Digital Mining Center team were represented by Dr Magdalena Worsa-Kozak and Adam Wr\u00f3blewski.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting, hosted by Matteo Fumagalli of DTU, was attended by Ewelina Rathje, Marek Praski, and the entire consortium. After detailed technical discussions on the project&#8217;s progress, participants had the opportunity to see its results in practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DTU&#8217;s Control, Robotics and Embodied AI (CREA) group presented a demonstrator of the next-generation propulsion and force-delivery module, designed for resilient mobility in confined and unstructured underground environments. Live demonstrations and technical discussions showed how mechatronic design, embodied intelligence, and AI-driven autonomy can transform underground exploration, geotechnical assessment, infrastructure inspection, and environmental monitoring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MINOTAUR project shows how international cooperation contributes to European innovation and highlights the growing relevance of autonomous systems for extreme environments and sustainable practices in mineral exploration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"473\" data-id=\"6206\" src=\"https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809-1024x473.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809-1024x473.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809-766x354.jpg 766w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809-1536x709.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809-1200x554.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1781600435809.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"6208\" src=\"https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6208\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155347.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"6207\" src=\"https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6207\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/dmc.pwr.edu.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/1782983155472.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 16\u201317 June 2026, Copenhagen hosted the mid-term review of MINOTAUR, a project funded under Horizon Europe.
