Attendees at MINExpo 2021 can witness a Komatsu excavator located more than 400 miles away in Arizona be operated from the Vegas show floor during a scheduled demonstration by the OEM this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company will teleoperate the new Komatsu PC7000-11 hydraulic excavator from a remote console as it loads the company\u2019s autonomous concept truck at its proving grounds outside Tucson, Ariz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe [machine] and its operator will leverage an Immersive Technologies console that provides the user information and views of what is seen from the machine\u2019s actual cab onsite,\u201d Komatsu said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMultiple cameras and sensors around the machine and bucket, as well as a 360-degree monitor and machine display, support visibility and situational awareness for the remote operator.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OEM confirmed that development of its semiautonomous 700-ton-class hydraulic excavator with teleoperation is nearing completion. It is hoping to trial the concept machine at a customer site in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A schedule of the demonstrations, as well as an option to catch the demo from home for those that cannot attend the show, can be found at Komatsu.com and komatsuevents.com, respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Komatsu will be set up in the Central Hall, Booth 7027.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
