MEGABOTS used by Rio Tinto copper company in Australia save humans from dangerous work. “Imagine Google’s self-driving cars, except gigantic: each 210-metric-ton truck is 27 feet wide and 51 feet long, and can carry 320 metric tons. Although 15 of the dump trucks work in Australia’s iron-rich Pilbara region, they are controlled from a Rio Tinto headquarters in Perth, Australia—930 miles away. Key to the trucks’ success is their ability to operate 24 hours a day.” Autonomous drills are next at Rio Tinto. ”
