Here's a modern piece of heavy equipment, a Ponsse tree harvester, with the operator showing how the machine is used.[1]
One big joystick for each hand, and a lot of buttons on each joystick.
The operator is guiding the beast, but once it grabs onto a tree, there's
some automation to cut the tree into preset lengths. Notice how fluid the
movements of the machine are. It's nowhere near autonomous, but it's several times faster than total manual control would be. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlvByJeAfv0 |
