Autonomous equipment positioned to be next disruptive technology

Designed to be faster and more agile than an operator relying on his five senses, unmanned vehicles and equipment are quickly gaining traction in the military, agricultural, and commercial sectors. Design engineers are tasked with developing and specifying the right blend of technologies to most effectively do so.

Leveraging the mechatronic equivalents of vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, autonomous vehicles basically mimic the complex network of physiological sensory input and responses a trained driver, operator, or pilot displays when manning a vehicle.
