Mining seabed for EV battery minerals: Scourge or solution? It may look like something from a low budget science-fiction movie, but this underwater robot could help accelerate a high-tech future.

When a 27-ton mining robot called Patania II began vacuuming up metal ores from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in April 2021, it was not alone. Global Sea Mineral Resources (GSR), the Belgian ...

Mining on the spot requires smart robots capable of doing the job or riskier human mining operations far from home. Bringing the asteroid back to Earth makes mining easier, but at a higher cost.

The sea-mining company is now designing the much larger Patania III—the first of what the company hopes will be a fleet of full-scale mining robots that will hit the ocean floor around 2028.

5-27-15 update: This year’s NASA Robotic Mining Competition was a struggle for Cyclone Space Mining. In the team’s first run in the mining arena, the left linear actuator wouldn’t lift the robot’s ...

The world's first deep sea mining robot sits idle on a British factory floor, waiting to claw up high grade copper and gold from the seabed off Papua New Guinea (PNG) - when a wrangle over terms ...

The U.S. mining industry employed 634,600 people in 2014, according to data from the National Mining Association. It created another 1.3 million indirect jobs.
