A real-world look at robotics, automation and electric machines in challenging environments
Electric machines are heading underground

At FIRSTGREEN Industries, we see electric working machines as more than a quieter and emission-free alternative to diesel. For us, an electric platform also opens the door to new control systems, higher safety and the use of technology in environments where working conditions can be demanding, risky or difficult to access.
We took part in Robotics Underground / Robotika v podzemí, an event held at the Josef Underground Laboratory, connecting experts from academia and industry with students focused on automation, robotics and technologies for challenging environments.
The event combined several important areas: the Robotics Underground professional platform, a student scientific conference focused on automation, and Robotika naostro, a competition supporting creativity, technical skills and hands-on enthusiasm among young talents.
For FIRSTGREEN Industries, underground, hazardous and hard-to-access environments are exactly the places where electric and remote-controlled machines can bring clear practical value. Low noise, no local emissions and remote operation can help increase operator safety while expanding the possibilities of machine deployment in real working conditions.
Robotics, remote control and electric machines are therefore more than innovation on paper. In environments such as underground spaces, they become tools for real work.
We would like to thank CTU, the Centre of Experimental Geotechnics and the Josef Underground Laboratory for the opportunity to be part of this inspiring event.
We look forward to further cooperation and projects connecting technology development, research and real operational needs.
