Bio‐Inspired Swarm Robotics Design for Mine Automation

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Ants demonstrate tandem running for cooperative haulage, and honeybees use memory‐based routes between hive and flowers. These behaviours inspire autonomous haulage robots in open‐pit mines to achieve efficient scan‐plan‐retrieve ore transport, replacing small haulage robots with large mining trucks.

Automated path‐planning strategy for robotic inspection of underground utilities based on building information model

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 29, Page 5554-5575, 9 December 2025.
Abstract This paper proposes a fully automated end‐to‐end inspection‐path‐planning strategy for underground utilities, such as pipelines, based on building information modeling (BIM). An automatic extraction method is developed to process utility information from BIM models, using a registration step that pairs each pipeline with its corresponding ...

Enhancing Circular Economic Activities of e‐Waste Pickers in South Africa: Using Korten's Four Generations Strategies as Framework

Sustainable Development, Volume 33, Issue 5, Page 7603-7616, October 2025.
ABSTRACT E‐waste pickers play a valuable role in the circular economy and divert waste from landfills. Despite their contributions to the economy, informal e‐waste pickers work in very adverse conditions. With a view to improving their livelihoods and working conditions and possibly increasing their integration, Korten's four generations framework is ...
