HERACLES ROBOTICS develops an autonomous navigation and working system adapted to existing public works equipment for driverless excavation operations. Their solution integrates traditional excavation, 3D guidance, robotics, and artificial intelligence. The automation offers reduced excavation costs through lower labor needs and AI-optimized movements, decreased environmental impact via work optimization and elimination of unnecessary travel, and controlled timelines with 24/7 operation. Their prototypes include TETRA II and TETRA III.
