In addition to announcing the customer launch of autonomous heavy construction equipment, it has added new customers and is demonstrating the world’s longest point-to-point operation of remote-controlled and semi-autonomous heavy construction equipment at the UP.Summit in Dallas, TX.

It is applying its in-house vehicle, software, and autonomous driving hardware to a collaboration with UPS on an autonomous electric cargo vehicle pilot program in the UK and with the European Institute for Innovation and Technology to test driverless public transport in Europe and Milton Keynes.

The Apex.AI development environment will enable prototype functions developed by Krone and Lemken for their Combined Powers project for autonomous drive farm vehicle and attachments to be transferred to safety-certifiable production system.

The card paired with Recogni’s SDK provides greater development and deployment flexibility for any autonomous mobility use case for what it says is the world’s first 1000 TOPS class inference solution.

Its MK6 connected-vehicle solution has achieved CE certification in Europe, paving the way for its implementation in the region for the rollout of intelligent transport systems and an enabler for highly automated driving introduction.

Whittle Consulting and Pronto released a study showing that autonomous small trucks of 40-ton capacity delivered a life-of-mine net present value 30% greater than larger 100-ton manned trucks for a hypothetical ore body.

The swarming farm autonomy startup’s Steward technology is aimed at allowing existing tractors to perform tasks without an operator present, allowing workers to focus on other tasks around the farm and operation while the machines run on their own.

HARD-LINE specialises in remote control solutions and related network infrastructure, enabling the teleremote operation of heavy machinery from a secure control station on the surface or underground,regardless of distance.
