As the version 1 of the Implementation of Autonomous Systems guideline focused more on haulage, there is an opportunity within the current GMG project to develop a version 2 of the guideline to include guidance specific to implementing autonomous drills. During this virtual forum’s workshop session, participants collaborated on mine design and planning needs for implementing autonomous drills, as well as specific costs and benefits associated with the implementation.

The Autonomous Drills Forum was held in partnership with CIM and its Surface Mining Society. A special thank you to the exclusive event sponsor, Sandvik.
