Features

PROVEN MECHANICAL PLATFORM

Based on off the shelf equipment, like a Caterpillar excavator as a universal base. This avoids reinventing the wheel, while utilising a tried and tested technology.

ADVANCED VISION TECHNOLOGY

Leveraging advances in stereo camera vision and LiDAR technologies to allow for precision world sensing.

SERIOUS WORKLOAD CAPABILITY

Capacities measured in tonnes per hour and kilometres per day.

REMOTE MONITORING AND CONTROL

Machines are internet-connected and able to be monitored and controlled from anywhere on earth.

FULLY AUTONOMOUS OPERATION

Robots can be set to work without an operator and complete various jobs unassisted. The choice is yours: run fully autonomously, semi autonomously or manually with a game controller.

DIGITALLY PROTOYPED AND SIMULATED

We utilise advances in robotic physics simulations to digitally prototype the ideal solution before proceeding to real-world testing to reduce R&D costs.

  UFR have been extremely agile around our requirements. It has been an extremely fast-tracked project, with very high visibility in the industry. From conception to field trial is has taken four months. This has accelerated that part of the project by about 12 months. So, we are 12 months ahead of where we thought we would be – IMDEX Chief Geoscientist Dave Lawie.  

Universal Field Robots has collaborated with IMDEX Limited on a project that involves our 2t robot autonomously deploying their downhole sensor technology on mine sites.

Quality and Confidence

We leverage existing products as we innovate. We use tried-and-tested mechanical platforms as the foundation of our products, such as a Caterpillar excavator. Employing mass produced mechanical platforms means that the capital cost of your projects is lowered. UFR machines are making a name for themselves as premium products and are known for their superior technology, quality and reliability. We use high quality components that are well engineered and we listen to our customers, so that our application solutions exceed their needs and excite them.
