Wow! Baidu is such an innovative company
In collaboration with the University of Maryland in the U.S., Baidu has developed an autonomous excavator system that it says could have a huge impact on the construction sector.
The system, designed for excavators of all sizes, can help the heavy machinery avoid obstacles, identify materials that need to be handled and decide what tasks they should do with the identified materials
The system has passed a series of field tests, which found that excavators powered by the automation system were as productive as human operators in terms of the amount of materials processed per hour, according to the statement.
