5G Edge Innovations for Mining

The project aims to create more intelligent mining systems that will further push the boundaries of autonomy, productivity and security.

The project will work with pilot demonstrations of 5G-connected drones in a mining environment, innovative use of modern AI technology and a hardware and software stack for edge-to-cloud applications.

Examples of applications that will be developed include real-time video analysis, autonomous navigation, time-synchronized seismic sensors, augmented / virtual reality, etc. 

The project is funded by VINNOVA, NextGenerationEU. It is led by Luleå University of Technology and CDT with parties such as RISE, BI Nordics, FieldRobotiX, Ericsson, Hexatronic, ThingWave and Neava.
