    Dynamic Integration of Q-Learning and A-APF for Efficient Path Planning in Complex Underground Mining Environments

    Chang Su, Liangliang Zhao*, Dongbing Xiang

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.86, No.2, pp. 1-24, 2026, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2025.071319 - 09 December 2025

    Abstract To address low learning efficiency and inadequate path safety in spraying robot navigation within complex obstacle-rich environments—with dense, dynamic, unpredictable obstacles challenging conventional methods—this paper proposes a hybrid algorithm integrating Q-learning and improved A*-Artificial Potential Field (A-APF). Centered on the Q-learning framework, the algorithm leverages safety-oriented guidance generated by A-APF and employs a dynamic coordination mechanism that adaptively balances exploration and exploitation. The proposed system comprises four core modules: (1) an environment modeling module that constructs grid-based obstacle maps; (2) an A-APF module that combines heuristic search from A* algorithm with repulsive force strategies from… More >

    Fuzzy Logic for Underground Mining Method Selection

    D. Palanikkumar1, Kamal Upreti2, S. Venkatraman3,*, J. Roselin Suganthi4, Sridharan Kannan5, S. Srinivasan6

    Intelligent Automation & Soft Computing, Vol.32, No.3, pp. 1843-1854, 2022, DOI:10.32604/iasc.2022.023350 - 09 December 2021

    Abstract The Selection of the mining method for underground minerals extraction is the crucial task for the mining engineers. Underground minerals extraction is a multi-criteria decision making problem due to many criteria to be considered in the selection process. There are many studies on selection of underground mining method using Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques or approaches. Extracting minerals from the underground involves many geological characteristics also called as input parameters. The geological characteristics of any mineral deposit vary from one location to another location. Thus only one mineral extraction method is not suitable for… More >
