About the placement
This internship is with Orica and is facilitated by the CSIRO’s Generation STEM Links program.
Orica is currently working on a project looking at the use of mobile platforms to supplement and improve on-bench activities. The project’s objective is to gain an understanding of the issues of robotic platforms in surface mining operations. The project will ideally develop a common platform on which different modules will be deployed.
Mining benches are harsh environments with operators exposed to the elements, rock fall near high walls and other heavy equipment moving on the bench. The ability to control and monitor a remote robotic operation from a safe environment is a big step towards improving the health and safety of Orica’s on-bench operators.
The project will involve a brief literature search looking at different remote operating options, theoretical modelling and demonstration of the best identified solution in a controlled environment. Once proven we shall carry out basic field trials demonstrating the solution.
This role offers a unique chance to gain practical experience, improve your research skills, and contribute to our innovative and dynamic team.
