Next up: A semi-autonomous backhoe and dozer that can intelligently dig a level bottomed hole to specific cubic dimensions with equipment accessible ramp and all the waste material piled neatly on the sides in safe and sane manner and then can also load that same material into a waiting dump truck. Can also work in a swarm of two or three machines for more effective material handling. All controlled by a remote operator whose sole job is to hit the stop button if he spots anything on the camera that shouldn't be there, e.g. an underground power line that wasn't mapped. Was a fun project to work on.
- calabin 6y agoYou worked on a project like this? Sounds interesting! Are you able to tell us more, or if it was ever implemented?
- justinlloyd 6y agoYes. No. Yes.
- BHSPitMonkey 6y agoSounds like a task out of 'Surviving Mars' (and the kind of tech I expect to see up there for real in a decade or so, if a crewed expedition is ever to actually take place).
