Tunneling and supporting method based on location-aware system of alpine bolter miner

A tunnelling and supporting method for a drift section of a mine, preferably a coal mine. The method is based on a location-aware system of an alpine bolter miner. The drift section is firstly roughly reconstructed using an ultrasonic distance measuring sensor and imaging module to create an ultrasonic image of the drift section. Preliminary supporting is then conducted using first roof bolters using the ultrasonic image. The drift section is accurately reconstructed using a laser radar and laser point cloud imaging module to create a laser point cloud image of the drift section. Reinforcing and supporting is carried out using second roof bolters and side bolters according to the laser point cloud image. There may be 9 (nine) ultrasonic sensors and 9 (nine) laser radars. There may further be an underground localisation communication module in signal communication with an ultrasonic imaging module, laser point cloud imaging module and a well control remote control platform. The underground ...
