Construction Technology Summit lays out roadmap for autonomous equipment in construction

Experts in remote control, machine control, autonomy and robotics presented their visions of construction’s future at this week’s Construction Technology Summit.

  • Travis Schneider, business development manager, RE2 Robotics
  • James Arnold, advanced technology manager, Goodfellow Bros
