Pushing the boundaries of autonomy: Far afield to deep underground

Hexagon is enabling reliable autonomy in the world’s most challenging operational environments—across agriculture, mining and industrial off-road systems. This webinar features engineering and technical leaders sharing practical insights into sensor fusion, positioning trade-offs and the evolution of autonomous systems in mission-critical environments where safety, productivity and real-time decision making are key.

You will learn about how autonomy is impacting these vital industries and applications:

Precision agriculture
Learn how perception and positioning technologies, including GNSS+INS, LiDAR, RADAR and vision, help increase machine uptime, reduce operator risk and maintain efficiency in the dynamic and often unpredictable terrain of large-scale farms.

Underground mining
Understand the trade-offs between positioning technologies like ultra-wideband (UWB), simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM), inertial and vision, and the critical role of combined systems in enabling safe, automated and productive underground fleet coordination.

Off-road autonomy
Explore how core sensors—inertial measurement units (IMUs), cameras, LiDAR, RADAR, GNSS, and vehicle odometry—combine to deliver autonomy in industrial environments. Gain a deeper understanding of environmental vs. positional awareness and calibration challenges.
