Short documentary: Robotics in mining, how to get return on investment?
VIDEO: Watch this short film to learn about the technical challenges of developing autonomous and remotely operated robot solutions for open pit and underground mining! Robot dog Spot from Boston Dynamics is in the main role, but the supporting cast is just a step behind… (or maybe they are miles away, controlling the robot remotely?)
Return on investment from Robotics in mining
VIDEO DOCUMENTARY: Robot dog Spot from Boston Dynamics is used by Norwegian contractor LNS to make mining safer, more efficient and sustainable. See the film to learn HOW they do it, as well as an insight into the Return of Investment (ROI) of this Spot project
As a key contractor for Rana Gruber and other mining and infrastructure operations, LNS must meet an increasingly demanding market, and innovation is required to develop methods that improve how they execute their work - at lower cost, higher productivity - without compromising safety. And LNS is well ahead of many competitors in deploying autonomous and remotely operated robots.
This short video documentary/report (and the previous associated blog article) dives in to the ROI (return on investment) aspect of this project - both in terms of cost savings and financial aspects, but also other, less quantifiable values realised through this project.
