Abstract
How will modern computer-based techniques influence future mining
systems? This paper summarizes the state of the art in artificial
intelligence, robotics, and automation, and speculates about their
future use in mining. Two main limitations of existing systems are
(a) the inability of systems to sense and respond to changing
environmental conditions, and (b) the difficulty of setting up new
tasks and modifying existing ones. Improvements in technology will
increase the use of all three techniques in many applications.
However, fundamental problems remain in making systems exhibit
"intelligence", respond to the changing environmental conditions
and learn new tasks.
