In research and teaching, the AMT stands for a safe, efficient and responsible supply of raw materials through the automation and digitization of mining machines and processes and is one of the leading institutes in this field. A sustainable supply of raw materials is a direct prerequisite for all technological developments and is of great strategic importance for Europe. A large number of different raw materials are used in the manufacture of modern high-tech products. The basis for this, however, remains the extraction of raw materials. The Institute for Advanced Mining Technologies is pointing the way from traditional mining to digitization and computerization to advanced mining technologies thereby contributing to the sustainable safeguarding of technological progress for society as a whole. The applied research and technologies developed at the institute are high-tech and range from sensors that function like sensory organs to underground robotics to enable a future-oriented mining industry!
