Autonomous Dozer Pairs Hard-Line, Polymath

March 24, 2023

Polymath Robotics and Hard-Line have partnered on an autonomous crawler dozer, using Hard-Line’s remote operation technology and Polymath’s autonomous navigation system.

Hard-Line’s hardware integration, remote operation capabilities, and machine control API was integrated with Polymath’s autonomous navigation tools.

The technology is vehicle agnostic and can be implemented on any heavy equipment regardless of make, model, or type of machine, according to Polymath.

“We are excited to add Hard-Line to our network of hardware integration partners and join their software ecosystem,” said Stefan Seltz-Axmacher, CEO of Polymath Robotics, in a statement. “Our collaboration brings autonomous solutions to the heavy equipment industry as part of each other's partner ecosystems.”

Said Ryan Siggelkow, SVP technology at Hard-Line:

“We are proud to have Polymath join our software integration ecosystem, in addition to collaborating on an autonomous solution for remote Dozer operations. We see these solutions as a way to further enhance productivity and efficiency by bringing remote autonomous dozing to the market.”

Polymath and Hard-Line are collaborating on the implementation and are taking pre-orders expected to ship in the second half of 2023.
