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（也称为颗粒材料）在工业中无处不在，每年处理的散装材料估计有160亿吨-代表了世界上最大的材料工业类别。颗粒材料的范围从谷物、矿物块、化学粉末到沙丘和火星风化层基底。该项目是Crover和苏格兰5G中心之间的合作，旨在进一步开发CROVER机器人，这是世界上第一个“颗粒无人机”（在能够通过散装固体和粉末移动的设备的意义上），通过使用人工智能来自动化CROVER机器人和系统，从而提供对颗粒状物料的自主状态监测和管理。该项目是由Crover专有技术在散装固体（如沙子，谷物，粉末）运动成为可能，它是基于CROVER：世界上第一个“颗粒无人机”，在这个意义上的设备能够通过散装固体和粉末移动。
