Autonomous Operation of Earth-moving Trucks from Drones demonstration at the Robots for Resilient Infrastructure Robotic Challenge Event 2017

A drone system to monitor and autonomously direct trucks around obstacles was demonstrated by a team from the University of Leeds as part of the Robots for Resilient Infrastructure Robotic Challenge Event that took place on 27 to 28 June at Weetwood Hall, Leeds. The event was part of the UK Robotics Week 2017 and showcased the current state-of-the-art of robotics for infrastructure through a packed programme of talks and demonstrations. The event brought together over 80 academics, industry, policy makers and stakeholders to explore the use of robotics in the creation, inspection, repair and maintenance of critical infrastructure. Here Dr Bilal Kaddouh explains how their drone system works, what inspired it and the value of attending the Robotics Challenge Event.
