Bulk solids and powders (a.k.a. granular materials) are ubiquitous in industry, with an estimated 16 Billion tons of bulk materials handled annually - representing the single largest category of materials industry in the world.Granular materials range from cereal grains, mineral bulks, chemical powders, to sand dunes and the Martian regolith substrate. The project, a collaboration between Crover and the Scotland 5G Centre, aims to further the development of the CROVER robot, the world's first 'granular drone' (in the sense of a device able to move through bulk solids and powders), by using AI to automate the CROVER robot and system and thus providing autonomous condition monitoring and management of granular bulks. The project is made possible by the Crover proprietary technology for locomotion in bulk solids (e.g. sand, grains, powders) and it is based around the CROVER: the world's first 'granular drone', in the sense of a device able to move through bulk solids and powders.

散装固体和粉末（又称粒状材料）在工业中无处不在，估计每年处理 160 亿吨散装材料 - 代表了世界上最大的材料工业类别。粒状材料的范围包括谷物、散装矿物、化学粉末、沙丘和火星风化层基质。该项目是 Crover 和苏格兰 5G 中心之间的合作项目，旨在进一步开发 CROVER 机器人，这是世界上第一台“粒状无人机”（指能够穿过散装固体和粉末的设备），通过使用人工智能实现 CROVER 机器人和系统的自动化，从而提供粒状散装的自主状态监测和管理。该项目是通过 CROVER 在散装固体（例如沙子、谷物、粉末）中移动的专有技术实现的，它基于 CROVER：世界上第一台“颗粒无人机”，即能够穿过散装固体和粉末的设备。
