The all-electric Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) leverages the company's emerging advanced autonomous technology to produce an off-road work vehicle that is designed to support construction-related activities. The Honda AWV represents a new category of capable work vehicle that can provide a wide range of services to a variety of industries that need autonomous operation or delivery solutions, especially where workforce constraints and safety concerns make other solutions impractical.
The Honda AWV employs a suite of sensors to operate autonomously, using GPS for location, radar and lidar for obstacle detection and stereoscopic 3D cameras for remote monitoring. The ability to operate autonomously – or via remote control – and carry large payloads, makes the Honda AWV a suitable platform for many work environments.
