They can execute planned movements, dig to spec, and repeat tasks with consistency. Contractors may start with remote guidance or supervision, moving gradually to full autonomy once trust and safety checks are established. The goal is to reduce operator fatigue, minimize errors, and optimize fill balance. […]
