“Komatsu has begun creating a new service it calls Smart Construction. A team of robotic vehicles scoops rock and pushes dirt without a human behind the wheel. They are guided in their work by a fleet of drones, which map the area in three dimensions and update the data in real time to track how the massive volumes of soil and cement are moving around the site.  The drones are built by an American startup, Skycatch. Instead of selling construction equipment to its customers, Komatsu can lease them out for a job, and use a staff of remote operators and autonomous vehicles to complete the work.”
