Robotic Research and Gaussin Sign Strategic Agreement to Create Autonomous, Zero-Emission Yard Trucks, Heavy-Duty Logistics Vehicles, and Shuttle Buses Robotic Research, LLC announced a strategic agreement with Gaussin. Under the terms of the agreement, Gaussin will incorporate Robotic Research’s AutoDrive® Autonomous Driving Kit into its growing fleet of zero-emission yard trucks, heavy-duty logistics vehicles, and shuttle buses for sale in global markets. Gaussin has developed an expanding line of heavy-duty vehicles powered by battery and fuel cells for use in logistics centers, ports, airports, and smart cities, that lend themselves to self-driven, clean energy vehicles. With this new alliance, Robotic Research autonomy kits will deliver the performance required in these challenging, often congested environments that are not addressed by other autonomy kits on the market. The agreement includes multiple solutions that are part of Robotic Research’s AutoDrive system. The systems are sold directly to end-users or used in Transportation-as-a-Service applications. The first generation of autonomous, zero-emission vehicles will be developed for logistics and yard automation. Ports, warehouses, and logistics centers are increasingly adopting automated vehicles to increase the efficiency of transporting goods and handling difficult tasks such as maneuvering and reversing trailers. Part of the appeal of using self-driving vehicles for complex yard environments is that they increase safety in both transport and loading, which reduces on-the-job accidents and improve efficiency and maximize real estate.
