Sensor Integration for Low-Cost Robust Machine Automation

机器自动化（MA）从根本上提高了采矿和建筑作业的效率。当用于农业时，它使澳大利亚与欧洲和美国的补贴竞争对手更具竞争力。在一个案例中，当使用MA技术使夜间耕作成为可能时，拖拉机车队减少了50%。在这个项目中开发的系统将使MA对澳大利亚的农业、矿业和建筑业更具吸引力，因为它更坚固，更不容易受到恶劣条件的影响，比如在树下。

Machine automation (MA) radically improves efficiency of mining and construction operataions. When used for farming, it makes Australia more competitive with subsidised competitors in Europe and USA. In one case, a 50% reduction in tractor fleet resulted when night plowing was made possible using MA techniques. The systems developed in this project will make MA far more attractive to Australian agriculture, mining and construction industries, by making it more robust and less susceptible to difficult conditions, such as under trees.
