Mixed fleet concepts for intelligent worksites

Mixed Fleet research project will study how autonomous machines and human workers or manually operated machines are working together in the same work flow. Another research target is optimizing work site operations by combination of machines of different types and models and machines from various manufacturers.

​

The research will give new knowledge to understand the role and behavior of humans in collaboration with autonomous machines. Another research topic will study and develope methods and tools for the flexible and rapid programming of mixed fleet systems, as well as examining the role of domain experts as programmers. A significant part of the research and number of demonstrations carried out in collaboration with companies focus on situational awareness and safety issues in demanding in mixed fleet systems. Beside the technology challenges, new business opportunities and value creation in multi-actor collaboration will be studied.
