NEED

Make automated a Caterpillar Track Loader to introduce automation in the construction/earthwork tasks to optimize the machines' operations moving excess soil on a building site leveling the ground

 

The challenge was to bring some models tested in simulation into a real size POC vehicle in order to introduce the concept of "autonomous earthwork" to the decision makers, demonstrate the feasibility and capacities of the machines, build a roadmap for future development & experimentations.
