Published purpose

Our objective is to transform underground drilling by developing a fully autonomous system that integrates intelligent rod handling with adaptive drilling control. Building on the RodBot technology platform and the RaisePro-48 ITH Drill, the system will automate the majority of operator-intensive tasks—including rod loading, positioning, and drilling optimization—while improving safety, precision, and overall operational efficiency in challenging underground environments.
