CapabilityEpiroc

Epiroc extends Deep Automation to underground-to-surface hauling

Construction

· capability · Epiroc · Construction

Evidence notes
  • A common automation system can now cover operating cycles that run from underground production areas to surface dumping locations.
  • The surface capability uses 3D LiDAR for localisation, mapping and obstacle detection where positioning references are sparser and weather conditions can change.
  • At Epiroc World Expo in June 2026, a battery-electric mine truck demonstrated the system by detecting obstacles and stopping automatically.

OSCP adds ArduPilot support across MK2 inertial sensors

Localization

· capability · OSCP · Localization

Evidence notes
  • The driver connects MK2 units over RS-422 or CAN-FD and is available with integration documentation, a C SDK and Python examples.
  • Builders can move from the 75-gram MK2M2 MEMS unit to the photonic MK2E2 while retaining the same driver and interfaces.
  • OSCP positions the integration for aircraft operating through GNSS interference, jamming and beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions.

Apex Mobility presents autonomous-service commercialization roadmap

Development Platform

· capability · Apex Mobility · Development Platform

Evidence notes
  • The first stage converts Socar road and edge-case data into simulation-ready training material.
  • A sensor-equipped Ioniq 5 prototype adds lidar and seven surround cameras for multimodal data collection.
  • Ride-hailing and route-based or demand-responsive robobus services remain planned future stages, not current deployments.

WHILL announces Haneda T1 autonomous-service expansion

Service

· capability · WHILL · Service

Evidence notes
  • Terminal 1 already operates 12 WHILL units from four stations between 08:00 and 20:00.
  • The extension adds access to gates 24 through 29 when the north satellite facility enters service.
  • WHILL expanded its cooperative fleet-management system beyond its own vehicles so mixed autonomous robot fleets can share the same operating space.

All3 wins Innovate UK funding for coordinated Mantis construction

Construction

· capability · All3 · All3 Mantis · Construction

Evidence notes
  • The project runs for 12 months from August 2026 and targets millisecond-latency coordination on live construction sites.
  • Planned work covers multiple Mantis robots installing building panels in coordinated sequences and sharing site-state information.
  • All3 says one Mantis already operates autonomously; the funded work develops the multi-robot layer.
