Drives to the stopped truck, the flagged road segment, the tripped sensor, and streams what it sees, so the exception is understood before anyone considers entering.
Cleans and verifies sensor pods, delivers tool and consumable pods from BASE, and connects charging, the routine visits that put people in autonomous zones today.
Investigates faults and performs approved recovery tasks under supervision, cutting mean time to recovery and logging evidence for the safety case.
V0 rides a proven rugged platform rather than a new one: sealed drivetrain, mast-mounted perception, and a manipulator that trades tools automatically from a magazine, wash head, torque wrench, gripper, sensor dock.
Every task comes from an approved list, supervised from the operations room, and logged as evidence. The list grows only as the record justifies it.
The v0 field program runs at a fenced design-partner site in Western Australia from 2027; qualified operators can visit by arrangement.
