Recent technological advances make it easier to adopt autonomy in heavy equipment, yet challenges remain. Autonomous off-road vehicles must perform reliably in rugged environments and demanding tasks, requiring collaboration across diverse teams. Simulations play a crucial role in reducing risks, refining algorithms and enhancing performance. This presentation discusses solutions for off-road autonomy across construction sites, open-pit mines and farms. Topics include heavy equipment physical modeling, 3D simulation using the Unreal game engine, creating traversable regions, planning excavator trajectories and controlling haul truck paths. Discover how integrated workflows improve design, testing and collaboration, driving smarter solutions for heavy equipment across industries.

• Validate off-road vehicle performance through physical modeling and simulation
• Create traversable regions for rugged terrains and plan haul truck paths
• Use sensor fusion for excavator trajectory planning and collision avoidance
• Conduct 3D photorealistic scenario simulations with Unreal Engine for virtual testing
• Enhance design, testing and collaboration with integrated workflows using unified models
