Automation has arrived in the construction industry, now AI-controlled autonomous vehicles help engineers and builders become more efficient and increase productivity.
[post_relacionado]The Built Robotics company proposes a new technology, with equipment that can make construction vehicles such as excavators, bulldozers, bulldozers and skid steers can become completely autonomous robots and drive themselves for excavation tasks: trenching, backfilling, leveling, etc. compaction, demolition, cleaning and excavation of foundations.
The equipment consists of a high-powered computer, motion and angle sensors, and a laser scanner called lidar that is also used in self-driving cars. Artificial intelligence guidance systems can be installed on almost any type of heavy vehicle from any manufacturer.
Volvo Vera Autonomous Vehicle
On the other hand, for some time now, the Volvo Vera, from the Swedish company Volvo, has been working in the Port of Gothenburg. It is an autonomous vehicle, capable of moving heavy loads, controlled by a tool connected to the cloud.
Instead of a driver in a cab, the HX2 uses digital logistics-powered control technology to detect people and other obstacles, thereby reducing unnecessary waiting times and increasing the accuracy of delivering each container.
Robotic equipment provides numerous benefits on a construction site, it can increase productivity, improve efficiency and promote safety by eliminating human error.
