Specialists from the Southwest State University (SWSU) have created a unique drone robot for the mining and processing industry. It has no analogues in Russia.
The robot is capable of operating at temperatures above 1000 degrees Celsius and is designed to take samples of the charge of a calcining furnace at mining and processing enterprises. The charge is the materials used in metallurgy and the mining industry.
The created robotic complex operates in autonomous mode. It can take samples from the calcining furnace through a special window at a depth of up to two meters. The drone transfers the taken material into an automated container with a function to control the presence of the charge in the sample.
After cooling, the sample will be sent to the laboratory for analysis. Previously, this work was performed by specialists, which was associated with high temperatures, dustiness, and harmful impurities in the air.
The industrial sample is undergoing final testing in the laboratory, and specialists are refining the control algorithms. The innovative robotic complex not only minimizes the impact of hazardous factors on humans, but also significantly increases the efficiency of production processes.
