About

A.N. Starodubov is a researcher specializing in mining engineering, with a particular focus on the simulation modeling of coal extraction technologies and the development of robotized mining systems. Their work addresses some of the most pressing challenges in modern coal mining, including the efficient exploitation of thick and acutely angled coal seams under complex geological conditions. Starodubov's most notable contributions center on the creation of advanced simulation frameworks that model both conventional and robotic mining technologies. Their 2019 study introduced a simulation model for evaluating draw mining method parameters within robotized systems, offering visual animation tools to optimize operational efficiency. Building on this foundation, subsequent work in 2021 extended these capabilities into comprehensive modular software platforms capable of modeling drilling-and-blasting and cutting methods, incorporating evolutionary algorithms to refine technological parameters. A recurring theme across Starodubov's research is the integration of information systems with robotized technologies to improve safety and productivity in environments with difficult geological factors. While their published papers are at an early citation stage — each accumulating 2 citations — the technical depth and practical applicability of this work position it as a valuable resource for engineers and researchers advancing automation in underground mining operations.
