Universal Field Robots builds OEM-agnostic autonomy and remote-control packages for trucks, loaders and auxiliary equipment in surface and underground mining. Sandvik completed its acquisition of the company in December 2024.
Robotic automation package that UFR fits to field machines (ATVs, trucks, loaders, piling rigs) for remote-controlled and autonomous operation. The UFR product lines run on it.
Autonomy kit retrofitted to underground haul trucks. At Gold Fields' Granny Smith mine it was fitted to Epiroc MT65 haul trucks to create an OEM-agnostic autonomous haulage fleet.
Robot built on the 2-ton E20C platform and fitted with the BLAST DOG system, which uses robotic vision and wireline sensors for blast optimisation in mining.
ATV platform with the UFR autonomy package for automated infrastructure inspection and early fault detection. Communicates over Starlink Mobility; tested on site at BHP Prominent Hill.
Delivery of materials and components for the construction and resources sectors, using ATV or truck platforms running UFR Autonomy. Includes a dispatch and scheduling system.
Bobcat loader set up for remote-controlled and autonomous operation in underground mines, operated from a surface control room.
Robot built on the E20C base with a purpose-built attachment for unattended refuelling of automated trucks. The target refuelling time is 5 minutes.
E35C robot paired with a Vermeer PD10 piling machine running UFR Autonomy. It installs steel piles for solar farm construction.
