AIM Intelligent Machines

Autonomous excavators, bulldozers and haul machines are moving beyond controlled demonstrations onto commercial construction sites. Bedrock Robotics says operatorless excavators are now working on major U.S. infrastructure projects, while Komatsu and AIM Intelligent Machines have entered commercial deployment and Caterpillar is adapting decades of mining autonomy for construction. The larger opportunity is not simply removing a person from one cab, but changing how contractors use scarce operators, existing equipment and entire earthmoving fleets.
