This article examines the current state of research and development of intelligent technologies for underground metal mines in China, where such technologies are being developed for use in the development of mineral resources in a safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly manner. We analyse and summarise the state of research in underground metal mining technology in the United States and abroad, including specific examples of equipment, technology, and applications. We introduce the most recent equipment and technologies for unmanned mining, including intelligent and unmanned control technologies for rock-drilling jumbos, down-the-hole (DTH) drills, underground scrapers, underground mining trucks, and underground charging vehicles, all with independent intellectual property rights. For intelligent and unmanned mining, three basic platforms are used: the positioning and navigation platform, the information-acquisition and communication platform, and the scheduling and control platform.
