Abstract
The development of coal seams located in complex mining and geological conditions presents significant technical and economic challenges when using traditional high-performance mechanized complexes. In such environments, it is practical to create and employ cost-effective, yet mobile and maneuverable robotic technologies, such as mining manipulators, automated support systems, and robotic mining complexes. this paper provides a brief analysis of the mining and geological conditions of coal seams in the karaganda basin and the current state of robotics development for coal mines. historically, the annual coal production from 27 seam layers in the karaganda basin suitable for selective extraction was about 15 million tons. However, losses of coal in these reserves due to traditional technology, which involves leaving coal pillars, reached approximately 9 million tons in 1998. The paper proposes a robotic technological complex for the selective extraction of coal seams under complex conditions
