Abstract

ROBOMINERS was a project funded under the European Union’s Research and Innovation programme Horizon 2020 (grant agreement n°820971) and started in June 2019 with the primary objective of facilitating the extraction of mineral resources, including strategically important metals crucial for the ongoing energy transition, from domestic sources within the European Union. To achieve this goal, the ROBOMINERS consortium—including 14 partners from 11 European countries, has developed a bio-inspired robot specifically designed for mining deposits that are challenging to access or relatively small in scale. The prototype was tested and demonstrated in July, August and October 2023.
