The mining mobile inspective robot is designed for monitoring explosive hazardous environments, where unknown gas mixtures consisting of explosive, toxic and suffocating gases can be present. This situation is often observed in mining hard coal excavations where inertia processes are carried out during or after a fire. Then the gas mixtures include, among others, significant concentrations of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and methane. In the paper the principle of operations and the robot assemblies which consist of mechanical, electronic, pneumatic and software elements were described. Furthermore in the paper initial traction tests of the robot were discussed.
