The National Mine Safety Administration has announced the approval of the "Key R&D Catalogue for Mining Intelligent Robots." This initiative aims to foster collaboration between mining and equipment companies, universities, and research institutions to drive forward the research, development, and industrial deployment of intelligent mining robots. The ultimate objective is to automate various roles, mitigate safety hazards, and enhance overall safety standards within the mining industry. To facilitate this process, policy support and information services will be made available.
