Mining 5.0: Concept and Framework for Intelligent Mining Systems in CPSS

This letter is part of the Intelligent Mining Development Forum and aims to summarize the discussions of Mining 5.0 from Intelligent Vehicle 5.0 project by IEEE TIV, which represents a shift from Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) to Cyber-Physical-Social Systems (CPSS). This letter highlights the basic theories and summarizes the framework of Mining 5.0 with three worlds, three modes, and three technologies that promote values of ESG, ERS, and DEI in physical, mental, and artificial worlds. Mining 5.0 plays a pivotal role in achieving “6S” goals (Safety, Security, Sustainability, Sensitivity, Service, Smartness) for mining industries.
