Research and Teaching Focus

In the spirit of Mining 4.0, the focus of research is on the utilization of information for process, environment and machine monitoring with the aid of sensor technology and modern methods of machine and process data analysis.

AMT develops robust, connected and autonomous systems and processes for surface and underground mining operations. The focus is on smart sensor- and data-based applications for positioning and navigation of vehicles, person and object recognition, material characterization as well as process automation and optimization to enable modern high-performance mining.

With regard to teaching, the AMT attaches great importance to a holistic and modern engineering education with a high practical relevance and the integration of innovative teaching and learning concepts. The contents of the lectures and exercises range from foundational mechanics to mechanical and mining experimental exercises as well as teaching in the areas of measurement, control and regulation systems.
