Autonomous work machines (AUWO)
The aim of the project is to initiate research on autonomous machine control, develop the necessary platforms, and pilot solutions for regional businesses.
Branch: Production technology
Duration: 1.4.2025-30.9.2027
Region: Central Ostrobothnia
Financed by: European Union
Project Manager: Marjut Koskela
The main objective of the funded by European Regional Development project is to launch research on autonomous machine control and build the necessary platforms for development work and piloting, enabling the piloting of developed solutions for regional businesses.
Within the investment project, Centria University of Applied Sciences will acquire an excavator, and the Federation of Education in Central Ostrobothnia will procure a dumper. Both institutions will also obtain sensors, central processing units, and data transmission devices required for autonomous machine control.
The development project focuses on advancing autonomous control systems and smart sensor technology for the excavator and dumper.
The project will be implemented as a group project, with the main implementer and coordinator:
Centria University of Applied Sciences Ltd.
Other implementing partners:
University of Jyväskylä
The Federation of Education in Central Ostrobothnia
