Abstract
An apparatus is for installing one or more bolts in a roof of a mine, potentially in an autonomous manner. A sensor captures image data of the roof of the mine. A controller automatically controls a boom associated with a bolter to install the bolts based at least partially on the image data. A system for capturing image data of a mine is also provided, which includes at least one sensor to capture current or present image data of a portion of the mine, such as the roof, and a controller for comparing the current or present image data to previously-collected, pre-existing image data, so as to determine a location in the mine based on the comparison. Related methods are also disclosed.
