The only way robots could possibly be successful at mining is if they are controlled and or trained by actual miners. And it’s still a long shot.

You still need these machines to be wired up, because there’s no way to do wireless communication in a tunnel network.
At some point, it’s cheaper to have a manual operator directly on hand than to try and automate a remote machine against all the contingencies and complexity of mining work.
