Thats what I operate right now at Osisko's BGM project. Its actually not that hard, you just line up the machine to a point spray painted by the survey crew on the working face than let the computer position the arms, you fine tune it than start drilling. Our rig is like pic related but with a few modern upgrades, its the oldest machine we have.

Scoop tram or LHD (load haul dump) machine is like a flat underground loader. You go from the working face to an ore pocket or loadout repeatedly all day or load trucks directly. Its fun but monotonous work. The Jumbo drill rig is where i am usually stationed, its a big multi armed machine for setting up blasting holes in the working face or can be configured for rock bolts as well. Shotcrete work is the least fun job on the crew, going along newly mined segments and blasting the rock screen with expanding cement that quickly solidifies. It stabilizes the work site. Its messy and horrible work. I ll stick to my drilling thank you.
