The UNEXUP project, funded under EIT Raw Materials, is a direct continuation of the Horizon 2020 UNEXMIN project. While in UN ... EXMIN efforts were made towards the design, preparation and testing of an innovative exploration technology for underground flooded mines, in UNEXUP the main goal is to launch the UNEXMIN technology into the market, while further improving the system’s hardware, software and capabilities. The robot’s ability to gather high-quality and high-resolution geological, mineralogical and topographic information from currently inaccessible mine sites will increase the knowledge of mineral deposits in Europe, whilst decreasing exploration costs – such as the number of deep exploration drills needed. This will potentially become a game changing exploration technology in the mining community, where the battle for resources is ever increasing. Core objectives: - Improve the current UX-1 system’s hardware, software and limitations - Build an additional, more complex robot, with further capabilities - Conduct field missions - Bring to commercial interest to the innovative technology - Launch the service into the market Twitter: @UNEXUP_EIT Youtube: UNEXUP Facebook: @UNEXUP Instagram: @unexup_eit read more
