Smart Home, Software, Hardware, Mobile Computing & Co.by André Westphal Oct 28, 2021 |2 commentsWith the LXo3 prototype, Volvo is presenting a wheel loader that not only drives fully electrically, but also autonomously.It was developed by Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and is intended for industrial use.The device should actively learn during operation, make decisions in real time and interact with human employees.At the same time, it is the first time that a Lego Technic model has been further developed into a real machine.However, it is a concept and the device will probably not (be able to) go into mass production in this form.The basis of the 5 ton wheel loader is modular, so the device could be both enlarged and reduced.Up to eight hours of operation should be possible with one battery charge, but this of course depends on the operating scenario.Key technical data of the Volvo LX03 (according to the manufacturer)Interesting development, especially since autonomous vehicles are likely to be the first to prevail in the industrial sector before they gain a foothold in the private customer segment.This article contains affiliate links, so we're marking it as advertising.Clicking on it will take you directly to the provider.If you decide to make a purchase there, we will receive a small commission.Nothing changes in the price for you.Thank you for your support!I see things differently that autonomous or semi-autonomous vehicles will prevail in the industrial sector.The technology will first assert itself where there are clearly defined framework parameters in which a vehicle can operate.Eg a car on the highway or a loader in a quarry or a sand pit.The more complex the environment, the more complex the automation.It will still be a long time before a wheel loader works autonomously on a confusing and busy row house construction site, just as we will certainly not see fully autonomous cars in city traffic in the short term.Autonomous vehicles have been used in industry for some time.In Australian mines, driverless giant dump trucks have been driving the overburden through the area for years.The terraced house construction site is not the short-term goal, industrial use has long been a reality and will gradually become more widespread there.Nothing phone (1): Available in all stores starting todayA lot of boom: Soundcore Motion Boom Plus in the testBosch eBike: These are the innovations for 2023 – ABS & Co.Tesla: Consumer Center Federal Association (vzbv) suesAndroid: Nova Launcher has been soldiOS 16: Apple adds new shortcut actionsNothing Phone (1) first impression: Nothing but marketing?Pedelec accidents: The victims of accidents are increasingly younger peopleTried out: E-Bike ADO A20F+Netflix is ​​testing additional subscription option for password sharingAre you planning to buy an e-bike?We look forward to your tips, news & suggestions!To the formCaschy's Blog © 2022.
