MODERN MANNED, UNMANNED AND TELEOPERATED EXCAVATOR SYSTEM

Abstract

This paper presents a re-evaluation on the modern development and practical use of manned, unmanned and teleoperated construction vehicles in universities around the world, which focuses on the use of robotized excavators. Unmanned operation is becoming synonymous in the extreme environment operation. The operation is also becoming important in order to increase working efficiency and situational awareness. The review includes the theoretical, experimental and practical applications of such technology in the present days, particularly for excavators. Various innovation and control methods have been studied over the years by various entities, which provide the significant contribution by the scientific community to the progressing world.
