Autonomous vehicles can perform an increasing array of tasks all by themselves

Autonomous vehicles can perform an increasing array of tasks all by themselves

More and more vehicles will in future not only be able to drive but also to work autonomously. Research centre Flanders Make is developing the necessary technology to optimise as soon as possible various applications that are useful for multiple sectors. Think of autonomously operating fork-lift trucks and tractors. 

At this moment, we already have many types of machinery that are able to move autonomously and can perform certain tasks in industrial environments. Take, for instance, mobile robot platforms that hurry in factories from one work station to the next and mobile robotic arms picking strawberries in greenhouses. But not only robots can do this, also Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) and drones can already handle some tasks all by themselves.
