Autonomous Part 2
This session examines how heavy machinery, robotics, autonomy, and sustainability come together as a single system. Our expert panel explores how the Nordic approach integrates these layers to deliver scalable, real-world intelligence in the world’s toughest operating environments.
  • How autonomous systems are transitioning from research labs to commercial deployments
  • Lessons from unique Nordic collaboration - academia, OEMs, and startup ecosystems
  • Advances in off road perception, navigation and safety frameworks for extreme conditions
  • Electrification and sustainability as core design pillars for next gen heavy machinery
  • OEM perspectives on scaling autonomy for construction, mining, forestry, and mobility
