The promise of these robotic mining swarms will usher in a new era of zero-carbon footprint mining with no people in harm’s way and will revolutionize the processing of the minerals in the mine itself.Jim Keravala, OffWorld Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder said: “OffWorld is developing the world’s most rugged industrial swarming robots who are able to operate in the frigid cold of the tundra to the scorching heat of the desert

PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OffWorld is the global pioneer in AI-powered industrial Swarm Robotic Mining systems and they are now taking orders for delivery of multi-species deployments commencing in 2024. The new line of robot species is built for surveying environments (on the surface and deep underground), performing precision excavation, and collecting, hauling, and processing material. The company is demonstrating that swarm robotic mining improves customer productivity and cost efficiency.The user-friendly robots work in squads and can produce from hundreds of tons to well over one million tons of ore annually in a single mining operation allowing for previously unattainable versatility in new mine operations within months instead of years. They are rugged, autonomous, and can work around the clock. Their unrivaled software architecture leverages machine learning allowing them to work with and eventually learn from human experts. With the future of the planet in mind, the application of these fully electric robotic mining swarms will leave a zero-mining carbon footprint behind, replacing the use of explosives with precision mining, and will save human lives by removing them from dangerous work conditions for years to come.OffWorld is ISO 9001 certified and has developed groundbreaking IP including directed beam energy technology for weakening and preconditioning material before extraction
