In 2022, a pilot project is planned to be implemented in a number of Russian cities to use a robotic tractor for snow removal. This, according to RIA Novosti, was told in the working group of the NTI Avtonet.
The unmanned vehicle will receive the means of self-management with artificial intelligence technologies. The on-board sensors will allow collecting a variety of information that will be fed into the Avtodata telematics platform. Based on the data received, the system will be able to make a decision on the necessary actions.
βThe technology will completely eliminate damage to parked vehicles in yards. The tractor will be able not only to clean the adjoining territories, but also to report on the amount of snow and dirt removed, reporting on each yard, βsaid the Avtonet NTI.
The Russian robotic machine will be able to perform various tasks. She, for example, will be able to chip off the ice cover and remove dirt from hard-to-reach places near sewer manholes and potholes. Moreover, the tractor will be able to remove snow from under parked cars by supplying a powerful jet of air.
It is expected that in 2022 the tractor will be tested on the roads of Samara, Volgograd, Tomsk, as well as the Kursk, Tambov and Moscow regions. If the tests are successful, the project will be expanded to other regions of Russia.
