In this week's episode of the Advanced Autonomy podcast, we spoke with Carl Brackpool, a Research Associate at Colorado School of Mines. We discussed the future of mining and the changing career trajectories of those who join an industry that is shifting by the day.

Carl Brackpool is a Research Associate at the Colorado School of Mines where he not only works to advance the next generation of mining technology — but also to develop opportunities for greater environmental efficiency and sustainability across the entire industry.

In addition to his research at the Colorado School of Mines, Mr. Brackpool worked at Hexagon Mining from 2017-2019, where he led initiatives to bring new mining technologies to market. 

In this conversation, we’ll be discussing the intersection of the mining sector with autonomous vehicles and other new technologies that are leading the industry toward fully autonomous mines.
