Скачать или смотреть Interview with Peter Corke - AI & Robotics in Mining: What can mining expect in 2023?

As of March 2023, everywhere you look, everyone seems to be talking about AI. The topics of conversation seem to be either incredibly pessimistic, or overly optimistic - both of which (historically speaking) are probably not true.

In the world of mining, the conversation is not much different. Mining has historically been seen as the outdated laggard cousin industry of the world, that tends to be the last to embrace new innovation. However, the new availability and accessibility of advanced tech like AI, robotics and machine learning (coupled with the surmounting societal and environmental pressures) has seen many mining companies dive head first into these areas.

For this reason, we wanted to take a moment and ask the question - what should we actually be expecting for 2023 and beyond?

For this video, we were incredible lucky to sit down with AI & Robotics expert, Peter Corke, who was kind enough to unpack some questions from the industry, and share his perspectives on the matter.


About Peter:
Peter is a robotics researcher and educator. He is the distinguished professor of robotic vision at Queensland University of Technology, and was director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Robotic Vision (2014-2020). His research is concerned with robotic perception using vision and force, dynamics and control, and the application of robots to mining, agriculture and environmental monitoring.
He created widely used open-source software for teaching and research, wrote the best selling textbook “Robotics, Vision, and Control”, created several MOOCs and the Robot Academy, and has won national and international recognition for teaching including 2017 Australian University Teacher of the Year. He is the Chief Scientist of Dorabot (Shenzhen) and on the advisory boards of Emesent and LYRO.
He is a fellow of the IEEE, the Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering, the Australian Academy of Science; former editor-in-chief of the IEEE Robotics & Automation magazine; founding editor of the Journal of Field Robotics; founding multi-media editor and executive editorial board member of the International Journal of Robotics Research; member of the editorial advisory board of the Springer Tracts on Advanced Robotics series; recipient of the Qantas/Rolls-Royce and Australian Engineering Excellence awards; and has held visiting positions at Oxford, University of Illinois, Carnegie-Mellon University and University of Pennsylvania.
Prior to QUT, he founded and led CSIRO's Autonomous Systems Laboratory (2004-2009). He received his undergraduate and masters degrees in electrical engineering and PhD in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, all from the University of Melbourne.
