Funded Activity Summary

Sensor Integration for Low-Cost Robust Machine Automation. Machine automation (MA) radically improves efficiency of mining and construction operataions. When used for farming, it makes Australia more competitive with subsidised competitors in Europe and USA. In one case, a 50% reduction in tractor fleet resulted when night plowing was made possible using MA techniques. The systems developed in this project will make MA far more attractive to Australian agriculture, mining and construction industries, by making it more robust and less susceptible to difficult conditions, such as under trees.
