The future of automation - Global Supply Chain Week
One of the companies leading the development of autonomous technology, and the first in the use of it for platooning, discusses the pace of adoption of that technology on the open roads. Locomation comes out of the robotics research efforts at Carnegie Mellon and is based in Pittsburgh. Its first target is to allow a company to use its technology for a convoy of vehicles, starting with a second vehicle working off the driver’s control of the lead truck. In this interview, CEO Cetin Mericli is frank about the exciting prospects for the technology as well as the fact that some of its more revolutionary promises remain a ways off.
