Preliminary research on the operation mode of virtual-real integration in fully-mechanized mining face based on industrial metaverse

The key to promoting intelligent construction is to integrate the digital twin technology form the operation mode of virtual and real integration. And the industrial metaverse based on digital twin is the future development direction of intelligent mining face. The concept of virtual and real integration operation mode of fully-mechanized mining face based on virtual reality-digital twin-cyber physical system-industrial metaverse is proposed. It has six connotation characteristics, such as display and off-line simulation, monitoring and auxiliary operation, online simulation and preview. It is an evolution process from low-level display simulation to high-level deep integration function. Finally, it have four abilities : the ability of reproduction mapping from real to virtual precision, the ability of reasoning and forecasting decision-making in virtual iteration, the ability of reproduction control from virtual to real, the ability of seamless cooperation between virtual and real human-computer, and the ability of lean management. The four capabilities of industrial metaverse and the key technologies to realize industrial metaverse are analyzed.Based on the existing monitoring, decision-making and control capabilities, AR remote assistance technology that can strengthen the cooperation ability between field operators and remote operators, robot cooperation technology that can strengthen the safety of operators, and virtual human technology that can use AI-driven operation in virtual space are integrated to build a hydraulic support adjusting experimental system based on industrial metaveise,and preliminary understanding of the application of industrial metaverse in coal mining.
