Abstract How can robotics be further implemented in the Canadian and world mining industry? The Orebot's mission is to increase mining efficiency for higher profit, fill the human labour gaps forming in trades sectors, and decrease casualties related to mining accidents. As the demand for mined materials increases to fuel electric cars, and support a growing population, Orebot could become an extremely effective tool for this sector.
