Developing Autonomous Mining Systems

Overview

Mining companies are increasingly turning to autonomous systems to improve efficiency and productivity, while increasing safety and sustainability. Some examples of these intelligence systems include automated haul trucks and other mobile equipment, robotic automation, and drilling.  MATLAB and Simulink provide algorithms and tools to design, simulate, test, and deploy robotics and autonomous systems. In this webinar, you will learn how you can leverage MATLAB and Simulink for autonomous system development workflows, such as:

• Platform design and analysis
• Path planning algorithm designs
• Sensors and simulation environments
