Autonomous Vehicles Today

Although most of these

vehicles are still in the

planning stage, there are

already construction machines

that are in use these days.

Komatsu began developing

autonomous mining trucks in

2008 and released the world’s

first dozer with fully automatic

blade control semiautonomous

D61i-23 dozer in 2013.

Built Robotics created the

autonomous track loader (ATL)

in October 2017 which digs

and grades a large space

operated via an iPad. In the

same year, Volvo Construction

Equipment (Volvo CE) unveiled

the battery-electric HX2 load

carrier with vision capabilities

and the hybrid wheel hauler

called the LX1.

Meanwhile, Caterpillar

released more than 100

autonomous haul trucks that

can be remotely controlled

by an operator. Undoubtedly,

these machines have made a

massive difference in

construction sites. And the

industry is expecting to see

more of these in the coming

years.
