Presentation

How to solve the complexity of autonomy for mobile machines

Autonomy in mobile machines has two sides which have to be covered: autonomous driving and autonomous working. Understanding these complexities and the mechanics behind is the prerequisite to develop machines in an autonomous design. This presentation therefore focusses on the technological complexity behind these two, gives an overview about different connectivity methods and provides a journey across several aspects like architecture considerations and the role of artificial intelligence in working processes. It closes with some ideas about how to solve on the large scale.
