RObot based Autonomous Refuse handling Volvo Transport Solutions Per-Lage Götvall Manager Transport System Robotics

The fundamental questions that initiated ROAR • Investigating the state of the art within Robotics technologies, having a 10 year horizon – Is it likely that an autonomous truck shall be loaded/un-loaded by humans? – Is it likely that the autonomous excavator will be assisted by humans? – Is it likely that the service we do on our trucks will be done by humans? – Is it likely that all those technically advanced inventions made by young, technically skilled entreprenours will all die?
