The AIT open-air test site for autonomous machines
The automation of work machines, such as cranes and forklift trucks, is a strategic research goal of the AIT Center for Vision, Automation & Control (VAC). In the future, these machines will take over repetitive and dangerous tasks. The aim is twofold: firstly, to relieve the burden on employees and enhance their role, as they will be responsible for planning and monitoring in the future, and secondly, to counteract the shortage of skilled workers.
To enable automation, many complex issues need to be investigated, ranging from environment recognition and interpretation to machine control and human-machine interaction.
For validation and testing purposes, the AIT has set up its own open-air test site for autonomous machines in Seibersdorf.
Location: 2444 Seibersdorf
