\begin{abstract}
The use of automation in mining can be found at all stages of the mining
process, covering exploration, excavation, loading, transportation,
mineral processing, and search and rescue missions in emergency
situations. Due to the harsh conditions during an underground mine
disaster, robots can be of great assistance to rescue teams by entering
areas that are unsafe for human rescuers, locating trapped workers and
collecting valuable data. The design and implementation of mine rescue
robots is characterized by great complexity since it encompasses the
consideration of a great range of components and requirements. However,
comprehensive guidelines for design and deployment of robots in harsh
underground environments have not been established. As a result, the
developers of mine rescue robots (MRRs) are to exercise their own
judgment on the development and evaluation of the platform
functionalities. This review attempts an extensive discussion of design
and functionality requirements based on the common practices and lessons
learned from the existing MRRs. Common considerations, as well as
current and future trends are identified with the aim of facilitating
future research and development on mine search and rescue robots.%
