Manufacturing Minute: Bulldozers Guided By Drones

Driverless, drone-led bulldozers take over construction sites. Welcome to your Manufacturing Minute.

Japanese construction company Komatsu has found a creative way to cope with a labor shortage.

With the help of American drone company Skycatch, Komatsu recently launched a new service called Smart Construction, featuring a fleet of robotic vehicles directed by drones.

The drones survey the area in real-time and send the data directly to the heavy-duty machines below. What would take humans two weeks can be done by these drones in as little as 30 minutes.
