Foresight and BuilderX Collaborate on Remote-Controlled CE
Following a successful proof-of-concept project, Foresight Autonomous has announced a collaboration agreement with BuilderX to develop remote-controlled operation systems for construction equipment. BuilderX鈥檚 products enable real-time remote operation and monitoring of heavy machinery through remote-controlled consoles, using multiple cameras mounted on the equipment.
Foresight鈥檚 3D perception and stereoscopic technology uses visible-light and thermal cameras to detect objects even in harsh weather and lighting conditions. The partners will start by integrating Foresight鈥檚 stereoscopic technology into BuilderX鈥檚 consoles. In the longer term, Foresight's perception capabilities will be added to BuilderX's autonomous heavy machinery.
The partners aim to develop and commercialize fully autonomous solutions for construction equipment operating in harsh environments. Remote operation increases safety by reducing operator exposure to hazardous chemicals and gasses, severe dust conditions or poor visibility conditions that can increase the risk of accidents, the companies say.
BuilderX鈥檚 current control system is compatible with 4G, 5G and WiFi and can be retrofitted to hydraulic excavators from all manufacturers. It can be installed and fine-tuned in about two days. The company has already installed more than 100 control consoles at mines, ports and other sites.
鈥淏uilderX is committed to driving innovation in the heavy machinery industry, and our partnership with Foresight is a key step in that direction. As hazardous environments pose significant challenges for heavy machinery, we believe that our collaboration with Foresight will provide our equipment with the advanced AI capabilities needed to navigate these demanding conditions and deliver exceptional performance,鈥� said Shaolong Sui, CEO of BuilderX.
