Dominic Jud and Burak Cizmeci - Teleoperated and Semi-Autonomous Heavy Machinery

We bring teleoperation and semi-autonomy to existing heavy machinery to operate them in remote or dangerous environments. The remote operator will profit from the best-possible immersion through our state-of-the-art networking and video transmission technology and motion feedback. Additionally, semi-autonomous assistance systems will make the machines easier and more efficient to control remotely.

First, excavators, for removing buried ammunition or interventions in natural disasters (rockfall, mudslides), are equipped with our technology. However, the general approach will allow us to also expand to other heavy machines, such as forestry machinery. Operators will be able to control their machines in remote forests from the comfort of an office space.
