  • Publication number: 20260132599
    Abstract: In some implementations, a mobile unit may analyze dust at a location. The dust may be analyzed using a machine learning model trained to analyze the dust data to determine presence of ores. The mobile unit may detect a presence of ore at the location based on analyzing the dust data. The mobile unit may generate mining information based on detecting the presence of the ore at the location. The mining information indicates the presence of the ore at the location. The mining information identifies the location. The mobile unit may provide the mining information to a mining machine to cause the mining machine to perform a digging operation at the location.
