Abstract
An apparatus, rock drilling rig and drilling method is provided. The apparatus provides position control data for controlling positioning a rock drilling unit of a rock drilling rig arranged for drilling transverse drill hole patterns in an underground tunnel. The apparatus includes a teaching feature for gathering data on manually controlled movements at the location of the drill hole pattern and to thereby detect a movement path, which is collision free. The data on the taught collision free movement path is implemented when controlling the rock drilling unit during an actual drilling phase.
