Australia Droid + Robot (ADR) was born 1000m underground developing robots to help hard rock miners inspect draw points without putting themselves at risk. We are passionate about the application of automation and telepresence to keep personnel safe. We call it "Safety by Separation". As underground mines become deeper and more hazardous, Telepresence will not be a luxury, it will be a licence to operate.ADR is the partnership of DR Joe Cronin and Dr Dawid Preller and their team of engineers. Dr Joe is one of the leading experts in underground mine automation globally. Dr Dawid is a rocket scientist and an expert in systems engineering who brings a rigor to everything that we do.We work with the personnel at the rock face to deliver solutions that make their life safer, easier and more productive.
