The target of Aurora co-innovation project is to research technologies required in the field of heavy machine automation, applicable to wide range of industries, such as, forest machines, cargo handling solutions, mining related machines and excavators, just to name a few. Research will especially focus on combining advanced sensing and control methods with state-of-the-art radio-based technologies. Project results can be generalized and utilized also in other fields where, for example, robust wireless sensing and control is needed.
The Aurora project's objectives will be achieved through cooperation between project partners, that have a different role in the industrial ecosystem representing machine manufacturers, technology providers and research organizations in wireless technologies, robotics, and AI. These companies and research organizations develop jointly the prototypes, knowledge, capabilities, solutions, and services of the project and beyond. Project results will be disseminated in public seminars targeted to industry and in scientific publications and forums.
