The Yandex robot truck loaded and unloaded a container for the first time.
The unmanned truck independently went through a full cycle of operations at an existing container site. During the test, it traveled approximately 1.5 km in a closed area at speeds of up to 10 km/h.
Due to the changing position of loaders and stackers, a remote operator helped the machine select the interaction point. After that, the robot truck independently built a course, took the desired position and stopped.
The system also worked on avoiding repair equipment, allowing oncoming traffic to pass and waiting in line for charging. During operations with the container, locks are placed to prevent accidental movement.
When it detects an unclear situation, such as a person near a crosswalk, the robot truck requests assistance from the operator. The system detects and allows pedestrians to cross the road independently.
