Tech: 5G unmanned mining truck unveiled

China has developed a 5G intelligent unmanned mining truck, according to Science and Technology Daily on Wednesday. The truck is used for opencast mining. At 10.2 meters long, 5.4 meters wide and 5 meters high, it has a carrying capacity of 110 metric tons. The truck can plan its mission and route for itself, load and unload automatically, and drive by itself, the report said. Unmanned trucks are expected to improve mining safety and production efficiency. Compared with other unmanned vehicles, mining needs trucks to cope with tough road conditions with unpredictable obstacles and no clear guideposts, said the newspaper. Jointly developed by the China Space Sanjiang Group and Vipioneers, the unmanned truck was displayed last week at the 2019 World Conference on the VR Industry in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.
