HD Hyundai Site Solutions Joins National R&D Project on Digital Twin for AI Unmanned Excavators
Published
HD Hyundai Site Solutions is taking part in a national research project to study digital twin technology for AI-based unmanned excavators, according to IT Times. National research projects are research programs in which the government selects important technology fields for support, and this project aims to combine construction machinery with artificial intelligence technology.
A digital twin is a technology that creates an exact virtual copy of real equipment or a site inside a computer, allowing its condition to be checked and work to be tested in advance. Because various situations can be inspected in a virtual space before a real machine is operated, the technology is increasingly used in the manufacturing and construction industries.
Unmanned excavators are equipment in which artificial intelligence judges the surrounding conditions and digs soil without a person driving it directly. They are expected to improve worker safety at high-risk sites and help reduce the shortage of skilled operators. However, the report did not disclose the specific duration of the project, its research budget, or the other participating institutions.
This participation reflects a trend in the construction machinery sector toward using artificial intelligence and digital technology together. Attention is now focused on how the project will progress and what results it will produce.
