Research & Development

At Gates to Moria, innovation is a core part of our work. Our team is actively developing AI Spectrometry technologies—advanced machine-learning models capable of interpreting, classifying, and automating the analysis of spectral, visual, and structural data.

Our goal is to push this technology into real-world applications, including:

Mineral and material identification
Detection of valuable ore signatures
Automated geological classification
Field-ready tools that assist in mining, surveying, and resource exploration

By combining AI-driven spectrometry with high-fidelity imaging and signal processing, we aim to create tools that deliver reliable, portable, and scalable insights previously limited to specialized lab environments.

Follow along as these projects evolve into next-generation solutions for scientific, industrial, and commercial use cases.
