Robotic systems

Ground robots. Aerial drones. One software core.

NRED Intelligent Mining builds robots that inspect, sample, patrol, and map mines, buildings, and city infrastructure.

Our sensing payload is nine sensors: 360° 3D LiDAR, 4K camera, thermal camera, infrared pyrometer, magnetometer, Geiger counter, six-gas analyzer, acoustic sensor and ground-penetrating radar. Robots run on AI or Full Remote and stream live to VR and smart glasses. All of them run NRED Core, our own software, which installs on any robot, ours or another maker’s.

Portfolio

Nine systems. Different jobs.

Aster excavates. Stratum samples. Vigil patrols and inspects. Cirrus observes from above. Meridian maps territory.

Our wider portfolio also includes Nox for ground preparation, Prism for core analysis, Soma for humanoid assistance, and Bastion for response support.

Sensing

Nine sensors catch what people can’t.

01

Gas

A multi-gas analyzer reads six gases: methane, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. The air is known before anyone goes in.

02

Magnetic field

A fluxgate magnetometer on a non-magnetic fibreglass mast, away from motor noise, reads changes in the field in nanotesla. Anomalies can point to ore bodies, metal and buried objects.

03

Radiation

A Geiger–Müller counter measures gamma dose rate in µSv/h and gives uranium, thorium and potassium indicators. The dose is known before a crew enters.

04

Heat and infrared

A thermal camera and an infrared pyrometer map heat without contact: hot joints, overheating rollers, cold air flows, people in the dark. Infrared light gives vision in unlit workings.

MetalCore connection

From robot scan to 3D map.

Every mission feeds MetalCore, which combines the scan with 4.1M+ geological records into a 3D map of the mine, tunnel, or building, each reading in place.

Teams compare each pass with the last one and with over 100 years of geological records, and see what deserves another look.
