MAGMARION
Volcanic Mining Robotics for the EV Revolution
We deploy heat-resistant 'marionette' robots into active volcanic magma chambers to mine rare earth elements and lithium for electric vehicle batteries. Operated remotely by former deep-sea welders using haptic feedback systems that let them 'feel' the intense heat and pressure without the risk.
FEEL THE HEAT
A user straps on the haptic control suit and suddenly 'feels' the intense 2,000°F heat of a magma chamber through their fingertips — watching on screen as their robot arm reaches into molten rock to extract a lithium vein, all while sitting safely in an air-conditioned control room in Iceland.
