What if miners could see ore boundaries in real time? UQ researchers developed an AI-powered sensing system to make it possible.

Researchers from UQ's School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering pioneered world-first autonomous mining equipment, including a fully autonomous excavator and autonomous bulldozers for production mining, helping improve safety, productivity and efficiency across the global mining industry.

Australia’s solar generation capacity is on the cusp of rapid growth but underperforming panels cost the industry an estimated $400 million a year.
