Rio Tinto

Rio Tinto's Mine of the Future™ programme aims to introduce unprecedented levels of automation and remote operation, revolutionising the way mining is conducted. The programme will create a new generation of mining technologies to improve efficiency, health and safety and lower production costs.

As a development partner in the Mine of the Future™ programme Ocular Robotics is developing specialised sensor systems for Rio Tinto to assist the programme objectives. Ocular Robotics' technologies are particularly relevant to the resources and materials handling sectors combining the high performance levels required to enable advanced system automation and robustness to the harsh environments encountered in these industries.
