Enhanced remote operation and progressive automation technologies for safer, more efficient control of mobile mining equipment in challenging surface and underground environments.
Loader Remote Control & Automation aims to enhance safety and productivity through teleoperation and progressively autonomous control of mobile mining equipment. We develop perception and control systems that fuse LiDAR, radar, thermal and camera data to enable robust navigation in dust, vibration and low-light conditions.
Our automation stack implements low-latency teleoperation, supervised autonomy and high-level automated behaviours, supported by safety-critical failover mechanisms and simulation-based validation. These technologies reduce operator exposure to hazardous environments while laying the foundation for fully autonomous surface and underground operations.
Integrated LiDAR, radar, thermal and camera fusion enabling robust navigation under dust, vibration and low-light conditions.
High-responsiveness remote control that maintains smooth machine actuation, situational awareness and operator confidence at distance.
Autonomous behaviours—including assisted navigation, obstacle avoidance and task execution—operating under human oversight for safety and reliability.
Redundant failover mechanisms and simulation-driven testing ensuring dependable performance across hazardous, dynamic mining conditions.
