Automate It: A Robotics Podcast

Ep 56 - The Pitfalls of Traditional Collision Avoidance Systems

20 Feb 2025

Description

On this episode of Automate It, Stefan and Ilia break down the surprisingly flawed state of collision avoidance systems in mining—where billion-dollar companies still rely on network-dependent GPS safety systems that can fail with network outages, jamming, or spoofing. They get into why legacy mining autonomy is stuck in the past, how vendor lock-in prevents progress, and what a modern, sensor-driven approach to safety should actually look like.But first, they play the robot invention game, brainstorming thermal-camera-guided healthcare robots before escalating into a zombie apocalypse fever-detection system—complete with flamethrowers, saw blades, and a ruthless AI security gate. You're welcome.
