Does it work properly on any planet or it's only made for operating on Mars?
Thanks for your comment! The adoption of four tracks is to make them more wheel-like. When driving on rough ground traditional tracks tiptoe and the contact area is quite small. Four tracks have a much higher contact area with the ground, aided by independent suspension to each track, suspended via a swing arm from a central pivot. Each track has a separate wheel motor, which can brake, accelerate and even turn.
Good concept, archaic visualisation.
Do we really have to walk like this in the future?!?
These ideas might have their place is smaller specialized machines but the KISS principle still holds, especially when playing in the dirt.
I like some of the concepts here, like the independant tracks, but maybe a little simpler version first. I really like the active counterweight. Give a lighter, easier to move machine a big digging advantage.
Just make sure to not make it so complex it is not reliable. I think the concept shows some promise though.
Couldn't that have doubled the budget and hired (say) two college students for the modelling and animation work?
lets hope in years to come that driving a volvo wont mean showing up to work in a blue spandex body suit
this is supposed to come out when?? idk but im sure that lil feature to cover more ground would come in handy at the beach we would use it at
where can I buy this?
I doubt those fancy lazers work when covered in mud
Only thing i dont like is that it has one little "Camera", i hope that by the time this badboy ever gets built they have some serious Heads Up Display technology and even helmet mounted instruments. Thats what i'd like to see.
Amazing ideas !
About programming the work that has to be done with CAD and guiding the machine with GPS?
Incredible ideas, nice machine, the tracking, the remote features,85 there is to much glass for a heavy machine, I agree with pup085, but any other feature I think are great nice job. When can I see this done?
Thanks for your comment! Please understand that this concept is based, in some part, on technologies that have yet to be developed. It also relies on future developments that may or may not have been tested but are certainly not yet commercially available. But we are working on it :-)
geniales konzept ! wird es auch gebaut ? prototype ? was würde solch ein bagger kosten?
the 4 tracks is a great idea, but it would only really last in light duty work, working in rock like in highway construction it wouldnt last. and all the other small things would just be more unnecessary and would never get fixed by a mechanic, so theyre rather pointless. oh yeah, what construction worker wears tights??
How do you create animation?
wow its still diesel? Weres the solar panels?
thats actually pretty cool!
the counterwieght feature is pretty nice..but volvo should really focus on making a diesel turbo charger that lasts more than 60k miles before they worry about this!
too many moving and extra parts not workable in qurry to much extra maintance costs
When will this be available to the public?
Damn I could work from home now haha
Well its an interesting concept,especially the remote detachable cab.
My biggest concern was once the the operative got shut in that strong (plexiglas?) or re-enforced glass module. Once that cover has closed, unless he got powerful fans hes gonna bake! In the event of an accident, hes not going anywhere, it could be his tomb, if he couldn't get out!
The sequences were a little slow, as a standard driver could have dug a trench or filled on in, by the time this guy was ready!
He didn't even get the chance to dig one, after he only picked up one stone and missed scooping up the second one, dropped the stone, picked up hazardous waste, and dropped that (remotely) in the same area.
He certainly wasn't efficient using a machine which will cost millions (initially).
But its definitely one for the future, the far distant future.............
and it looks as expensive as all hell
Unreal Engine Stones...
Wonder if the glass is going to be that Thin
That's How great ideas are born! excellent work.
Whats the music in 1:05 ???
it would do away with a tilt bucket just using the tracks to get the required angle.
You can't say that it is uncool, When this comes out official you want to own one of those, Just sayin :-)
2:41
I DARE you to find a manifold like that
Excellent vedio very nice job it's my best job thanks friends everybody
Hmm...From 00:28 to 01:53, the music sounds like the beginning of a popular NIN (Nine Inch Nails) song. On a more serious note, the front "see-through" corner pillars look like they were borrowed from Volvo's concept car from about two years ago.
Volvo is winning! I want one!
i'm no expert but the concept looks pretty cool
I don't think the spandex overalls are going to catch on
Interesting, very interesting.
well the future and technology is always changing and improving...ohh 30 odd yrs ago there wernt mobile phones but look at them now ehh,,so y cant they make vehicles of the future..
Not ideal from what I can see.. what if you are in a situation where you can't get out of the cab because the boom can't be swung to the side?
is it going to be ready in a near future? :)
so if u see something like this digging in ur yard, u just need to find the easy access cabin-egg and destroy that -.-
@GlobalVolvoCE you can do it all! you have the technology, trust me. All is so easy to happen :-)
If you want any idea, just ask me ;)
I haven't seen this video in ages
10 years later
Don't know if I'd try that in my Kubota U35!!
Unless there is metal I'm not aware of the boom looks like it will have to be welded alot...
Why is this shown to me only now?
super idea i think so should work
but maybe we dont need a operator works allone
digger robot
Very nice video
well its 2015 Volvo What Happened??! -_-
Interesting. I don't know about the latice boom. lattice has compresion strength but not much tortional strength. but maybe it could be worked out. ran my first Volvo excavator last week. I liked it but I dont think I would buy one. I dont have a dealer close. I am afraid parts would be high. I had a Komatsu' and that was the problem with that. Holy crap the parts were through the roof. I run a Cat with 26,000 hrs on it. I wonder if my buddy will get that many hrs out of his Volvo?
This is the future
good ideas but highly doubt it'd work that well or at all in the real world. Way to many things that could go wrong.
Que doido, muito bom.
love the tracks now lets see someone build it lols.
Radical!
Luckily Volvo operators are free to choose his / her own outfits, both now and in the future..
Estaremos viendo esta maquina en futuro próximo porque esta sensacional
Amazing
Quadtra tracks are the future.
velho, a gente ja tem tecnologia suficiente pra fazer isso hoje em dia, me diz onde ta a dificuldade?
one word - wow.
Amazing excavotar
Wooow, amazing animations. ;)
I WANT ONE!! :D
That was cool
Nice
HUMM? Mining on mars with a nuclear power excavator ..Fantastic ..
Holy fuck they could not made the guy any creepier
Awesome
2018???
???Only me???
it's good than volvo cars :D
The future are here..
Dont build this please
very nice a+++++++++++++++++++
niiice!
cool
nin!!!!!
Hey machine wait for meee !
this will just cost to much :S
there is some things i like but the are some i don´t. somethings is missing :S
I would pay $2 for this game
Umm where does the fucking engine go?
Technology of tomorrow... CGI of 1995
astig
Better than Cool 3D World.
Jajajaja no mamen cuanto costará el mantenimiento de ese equipo como si los patrones languaros fueran a pagar por eso, si existen patrones que le quitan el clima a las máquinas "por qué vamos a trabajar no a un día de campo" muy bonitas pero es lógico que su costo y su mantenimiento será demasiado elevado
Like si eres operador hispano
Wowwwww
Why big company like volvo not hire or pay better animator 😂
ki brimquedo shooo
Was vid this made by 10 yo kid using a paint?? FFS try harder volvo.
Graet volvo
Why not make it remote controlled from the get go? you know utilize steroscopic camera and virtual reality helmet? Become the digga?
You are welcome... gimme 10% thanks...
Cute remote control.. At least, until the remote system gets hacked by /b/ros on 4chan and the machine gets trolled on the jobsite.. YOU get blamed and fired.
Looks stupid it not 2098 yet
hm hm sure!!
belief it self!
Rise of the Reds brought me here.
Wow
