About
About Vale
Vale operates mines, processing plants, railways and ports across a global mineral-production network. Robotics and autonomy are deployed inside that operating estate: the company has maintained a robotics programme since 2010, uses inspection systems for confined and hazardous areas, and runs autonomous haulage and material-handling equipment.
Its disclosed systems include SpeleoRobot, ROSI, ANYmal quadrupeds, autonomous trucks and three autonomous yard machines at the Ilha Guaíba terminal. Vale also supplies direct-reduction iron ore pellets under an agreement with Stegra. That materials agreement remains outside the active robotics graph because no exact robot-product input has been established.
