Autonomous Heavy Equipment

Autonomy stacks for earthmoving and haulage that combine high-precision positioning (RTK GNSS), perception (LiDAR/radar/cameras), and site geofencing. These systems target repeatable tasks like grading, trenching, and material transport while improving safety by reducing human exposure to heavy machinery zones.
