Study on environmental degradation of underground mines by autonomous exploration using artificial intelligence

Artificial Mines are the place from where we are extracting the ore and through the ore we get our goods which pose significant threats to society, yet a large fraction of them lack accurate maps (Tanmoy Maity, 2001). This article discusses the software architecture of an autonomous robotic system (A application of Artificial Intelligence) designed to explore abandoned mines (Environment Degradation). We know that, now a day we are fully dependent on machine whether it a small task or a larger one. We neither ignore the importance of machine nor the mine product such as fuel, ore or our day to day requirement goods (Dissanayake, 2003). So to identify the safest mine and exploration of abandoned mine, we have built a robot capable of autonomously exploring abandoned mines (Baker, 2003). A new set of software tools is presented, enabling Robots to acquire maps of unprecedented size and accuracy. On May 30, 2003, our robot “Groundhog” successfully explored and mapped a main corridor of the abandoned mine near Courtney, PA (Apostolopoulos et al., 2001). The article also discusses some of the challenges that arise in the subterranean environments, and some the difficulties of building truly autonomous robots.
