The Mining Software Market is experiencing rapid expansion as the global mining industry embraces digitalization and automation. Mining software solutions are increasingly being adopted to enhance operational efficiency, optimize production, ensure worker safety, and comply with environmental regulations. These software systems cover a wide range of applications, including geological modeling, mine design, resource estimation, scheduling, fleet management, maintenance, and environmental monitoring.

The global Mining Software Market size was valued at approximately USD 12.8 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 23.8 billion by 2032, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 8%. This strong growth is fueled by technological advancements such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing, which enable real-time analytics, predictive maintenance, and automated operations. These innovations are transforming traditional mining operations into smart, data-driven ecosystems.

Key factors driving the Mining Software Market growth include the increasing need for productivity optimization,…

When trying to connect to Bittle X over WiFi with ProgramBlockly in the most recent version, I get the following error messages:

[WebSocket] Connection closed 1006

Reconnect] Attempting to reconnect (2/5)... (delay: 1000ms)

QuickConnect seems to find and store the connection but then the connection keeps closing. Also, pressing the boot key no longer counts down 10 to open a hotspot so the web page connection method doesn't work any longer.

I tried an older version from July and it works OK.

Anyone else seeing this issue?

I thought I'd share a project I've recently done with Bittle in case anyone is interested in exploring simulation with Bittle in a non reinforcement learning application, although one could also use Mujoco for reinforcement learning also.

I used the URDF created for Bittle here. AIWintermuteAI made the URDF files for Bittle a while back, which was a great starting point to get a model of Bittle into the Mujoco simulator made by google deepmind.

My project aimed to use model predictive control (MPC) to generate optimal gait patterns to run open loop on the Bittle robot. The first step was to get a model into the simulator. To do this, I converted the URDF model to XML format for the simulator. Then I created the environment and configuration to use Mujoco Model Predictive Control (MJPC) with Bittle. MJPC was also developed by google deepmind.

MJPC effectively performs forward rollout…

I am completely new to Bittle, just finished assembling one for my grandson. Currently at calibration stage, downloaded and installed Desktop app on my Macbook running the latest OS. App launches, but it is slow and halting, and frequently does not respond to any clicks on the firmware or calibrate options. I did grant it permission and sometimes one or two of the servos move and the board makes a sound, but I cannot get the program to run smoothly. Any ideas?

Hello, I have a bittle x robot. I removed the old board (BiBoard) and installed the Nyboard and connected it to the servos and made sure of the connection. I downloaded the code and made sure to activate the type of board and the robot, but when I started it and gave it some commands with the remote, the servos did not work well. I calibrated the servos, some of them work and some do not, so I installed the old board to return it to work, but the servo became worse. acutally the servos when I bought the robot after a few months Sometimes it didn't work well. Is there a solution to the problem because it happened suddenly? Is the only solution to reassemble the robot from scratch or buy a new servos or are there other solutions?

Hi everyone, I have been doing some work on the project. I have removed the old board (BiBoard) and installed the new board (Nyboard) and the music and lights worked on the new board I expect that it is working now and I only have to upload the code, and as for the Raspberry I downloaded the system on it and I installed the Raspberry over the Nyboard using female headers and it worked and also I entered the Raspberry system using Windows Powershell but now I have a problem I want to install the camera and voice and AI chip on the Raspberry we can do it using the Raspberry GPIO But you know how the ports of these chips cannot be mounted on the Raspberry pins. If Anyone have advice, I would be grateful to you.

@rhongzongli - I modified the bittle back with a dremel so it fits on the bot when I do not have the Pi attached. It would be nice to get a back that already has a nice cutout for the connector when ordering a presoldered connector or when someone knows they will be adding one. Maybe if every back printed with outline of a "knock-out" printed on the inside, it would allow those with the connector to precisely cut out the hold with a utility knife?
