- Caterpillar equipment demonstration at the Edwards testing facility. What is not noticed until later on in the demonstration is that there is no operator in the equipment and that it is being operated remotely.

The glass is there to block all the noise. If you've been around the machines while operating you know how loud they are. Behind that glass and in that room you barely hear the machines run.
It's more than a half inch if its soundproof in that room! That machine is loud, especially in a warehouse!
In the early 80's I had a job with a D10 and a 992 loader at work. I could watch it all day long in spite of the -40 temperatures.
Best Remote controlled toy ever!
they could quite possibly do stuff like load trucks automatically in the near future but theres not a hope in hell of a machine being able to do the really intricate stuff for a few generations.
Thanks for the CZcams ad in the middle of the video
What an awesome show!
When I was growing up I had a neighbor who worked for Caterpiller ( George Montoya ). He said they had fitted a d-9 with a remote control in 1965. The D-9 was used to move molten hot slag at the old Kieser steel Plant in Ontario,Ca. He showed me a picture of it in action and it was clear why they needed to control it remotely. The tracks were glowing orange from the heat.
I wana see now
Great video
Why do they keep such gentle creatures in captivity?
I've always wondered why more crews don't use remote for excavators so they can stand at the hole and see.
Потрясающе! Чесно блин. Прогресс технологии во всей её красе. 👍
Nikita Kaliostro THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!!!😕
Interesting note, there is a German ww2 tank called the maus that weighed around this and had a 1200up engine at the time
Got Bulldozer and Excavator training from Scott Thomas of Caterpillar not so long ago, the same guy who is remotely operating the machine. Nice vid
Wow. amazing machine. Its nice that Cat actually made the RC setup to protect the operator of the machine, still get the job done, but no life's lost, nice. But scary how advanced machines are becoming, even though RC is extremely old school.
All (SJC) Bobcat Skid Steers & Track Loader are RC ready standard from the factory, you just need to buy the remote control kit.
Yep, RC operated so it can be used in hazardous situations where danger to the operator can be diminished or eliminated.
Woah. Imagine the kinds of havoc a skilled maniac could wreak with one of these beasts.
Congratulations, Cat. You have realized the fictional Killdozer.
Omg how great would I have been if they finally cut through the armor only to see a blow-up doll in the driver's seat!
F***! Biggest RC-Toy I ever saw!
I gotta love caterpillar, the make truly magnificient stuff
what would happen if the remote lost signal, just watch the tractor plow in to some stuff?
Now that cat has developed this I bet any money a hollywood producer will put the remote controlle theme into a movie and have it crush a house or something...lol
There's video's of a couple crazy looking RC controlled loaders with about 15' tall stacks working under water on youtube somewhere.
Back in the day we took the first D-10-s still in the testing program by Caterpillar
in San Diego: It's been some years: 79 80" don't just know when now; The general closed his doors; McCoys bought it; we ran it for a few more years: it was a dirt pushing monster, Nothing like these cats today: we also brought in the first D-11 to our region : That turned out to be a disaster once it had been assembled" although it checked out good to go on the oil sample's before it shipped" so said the engine had been out; the dealer did a R&R:
Once I had it all back together"
changed out the filters: did it all: primed everything up neat & clean as could be"
The cat skinner an old time climbs in: The super; the owner & who all else near by"
We are all are awestruck when it begins to rumble a way' It was awesome to see & hear" : I mean awestruck with it's mass" & sound"
>>>>> BUT Vary short lived" that with in just a few short seconds turned in to panic;' One of the new engine oil filters blew out" sending oil all over the place; & of course I heard all kinds of you know what" put two more on same thing; next time just the one" blew out in a heart beat: dropped the pan:
It had wound one rod around the crank an other one jammed up like a rubber hose:
The crank was all eat up, galled all to heck: If not for the filters blowing out: that engine would had completely eating it self up blowing a hole out the side of the block:
The power still with in the remaining cylinders: didn't miss the others not even:
Turned out after close study on the equipment log some one had done a little fudging: They bough that one" back charged" we got it back good as knew: Ran right from there on after: Never missed a lick after that:
The D-10 lived a short life' it went to the chop shop: Now that did up set me some
when I heard about It" So much so I actually put up a fuse over hearing what was in store for it" I think mostly knowing it's History" I even had the engine while at the dealer when it was with the first general" The cat
it was well used; It was a beast of a cat: D-10 unlike how they are today" I spent my years keeping the 666's in the dirt: nearly had all the known 666 on one job in CA one time: Don't know if we had the six or 9 666 Groves had" Then we found some chopped up ones' & a few that still had the old electric retarder brake get up in a couple: Stretch Can's from those coal hauling places" Those were the days: we moved dirt: Lots of it: I loved it all: for yuks there were a couple of the old Model 641 -A-s Some one scrounged a 769 up some place" we put some paint on it: never did
find much for it do it was so small: just sat:
SJ Groves was an other high roller for years: It was rock & roll, dam the expense
go for it: Pretty tight with cat back then:
It was fun while it lasted" Now there are a whole new bunch that will get all eat up
with the hogs: watch your back side people: Beware of bigger barns:
there isn't no net once one falls from the ranks:
any one from cat gets a load of this" I doubt there is any one there who would be in the know: back in the day I ran a D-7-E in the first of the Roman Plows to hit Vietnam
that old wish bone A farm was a life save on numerous occasions:
I don’t even like heavy machinery and i envy these people in the room.
Should have kept the 3508 V8 in it! that sounded like a big dozer should!
Man every company that works with big machines is using that remote control driving even trains do that for yard work man that's awesome
the greatest RC toy
Scott Kaser yup babies get the 1:50 scale rc dozers and we men get the big 1:1 dozer but i whold prefer to sit in it it makes you feel so mutch manlier xD

And the Biggest !😀
can I have one for Christmas I would love a full size radio control dozer to play with on the beach
so its safer to use remote control?
Could do the same via satellite for army tanks on a dangerous battle field.
it gets out of range of the remote signal it can have a shut-off switch allowing the dozer to stop in case of lost signal to the controller but fascinating all together next will be big rigs hauling our everyday needs with long distance signal and a video cam so they can drive the trucks from home without lifting a finger
At the Caterpillar demonstration facility in Peoria.
Can I operate this from my bed at home?
When he said 450 hp I was like hold up but then he confirmed it was 850 hp I was like that makes more sense.
i can understand for certain mining operations where you put the operators life at risk besides that just why.....
Nice,thank's for information,i love cat machines, i used 944 loader.
wonder how many of these the DHS bought.
The remote is nice, but an operator in there has more feel as to what the machine with do in situations so the machines get less wear because the operator knows better how to operate the machine because in the cat he sees what happens, and also feels how rough it is
An operator in a machine is always preferable everything else being equal. But when the machine is in a dangerous area, either from physical hazards or environmental issues, this is a great option to have.
It happened to watch this with sound off,who is your promplem,mr expert?
When I went there they used operators not remote control...just their way of cutting costs.
pushing coal into the hoppers is a huge thing for remote dozers... UNDERGROUND stopes I use remote loaders...
kickass
I was thinking, wow this looks like a giant toy play ground, and then the guy came out with the remote control, I feel phycic.
nice!!
Where is the demonstration at
awesome
I thought this was a demolition derby..damn that would be awesome
Can just call it an adult toy or are we still required to call it a tool
Remote control - that is great - now I can work productively while spending time in the crib room
I don't think they have remote cameras, so I don't think you can do this while watching the crib. Unless of course you're digging in your back yard.
I can always get a wifi GoPro or Ian Air Camera and iPhone. It will be sweet. By the way, Komatsu has an app so the doxer will move the dirty all by itself. Just load app, pree Auto and enjoy that cuppa.
So we need cameras on the operators to operate remotely - This is almost going back to the current Status Quo.
what do u work? - i test rc cats ;-)
Its rc controled?
if only you could play with these and control them remotely here...
that'd be fun!
And now jam the signal when it's crawling toward the stand :D
There will be a whole new class of remote dozer operators! The video game generation will be just fine with this
Sera el futuro
Great feature for when you go on a rampage.
In the future....heavy operators will be working from home in their underwear on the couch!
that's a very big fun RC toy !! Perfect for zombies apocalypse : D
its cool that it can be controlled remotely but its also scary
was this at the ACMOC conference in April?
+Dusty Welch No, recorded on 4/26/2012 at an insurance underwriting meeting in Peoria.
hope i work for cat someday
oooh my god
no doubt there. I just guessed for artistic intent. I think it would have to be a foot thick to slow it down. For at least a moment.
Liked the comment. That glass wouldn't be able to help them much. You noticed how uncertain the crowd became when they learned that there wasn't a person in that thing, yet it was moving around.
I myself feel I can do a better job sitting in the seat feeling the dig.and surely make a straighter line staring down the hood rather than off to one side and furthermore some of the work leaves little room to stand anywhere around the machine..better off in the seat
Did they call diggers hotline first.
cat always on top
dear santa.....
Just this to say.......AWE.......SOME !!!!
Dommage qu'il y est les vitres !
Ultimate RC toy. Would love to remove snow with this little machine.
ingenieria in state pure
In the famous words or Adam Savage" I reject your reality and substitute my own". Cheers.
Dammit, I've been sucked into the tractor section of CZcams again...
zdalnie sterowany??
There go's the feel...
I must have this remote control car
Any engineer worth his salt puts in fail-safes for such a situation. Wouldn't take much on a continuous tread vehicle for the treads and hydraulics to simply stop moving as if the operator let go of the controls. Cars at highway speeds are another matter. I'm certain that trains require the operator to touch the controls within a certain time or else the train automatically cuts throttle and applies brakes. What's tricky would be automation i.e. self driving robots without human supervision.
Dear Santa...
RC takes the fun out it. Nothing like being thrown around in side a dozer like a toy.
So coolllllll 😀😀😀
holy shit remote control, I want one! for my toy
Imagine some hacker takes control of machine....
Wasn't under my Christmas tree. So disappointed. :(
don't you mean SkyNet
what kind of pad did he say at the end?
A leach pad. Leach pads are typically seen around gold & silver mines. They are used to extract precious metals and other minerals from various ores. Usually contain a lot of acid. Read more here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_leaching
Maxi
yeah, i dont want to live to see that ever happen, but RC technology is extremely old, beyond WWII.
Thats one bad ass battle bot. Lol
ohh shit skynet....
it still needs someone to work the controls you just sit in a lawnchair drinking sody pop in the shade
dear santa...
Им управлял тот дядька с пультом?
В кабине никого не было?
now you stand out there in the mud and run that thing so you don't run the a.c. or get the upholstery dirty k?
How did he go from 450hp to 850hp lulz
This is where all the jobs will go
Somebody has to operate the machinery, either in the cab or remotely. THe job doesn't go away. Just helps keep the operator in a safer place when working in a dangerous atmosphere.
OKay fool
MIchael guzman Quite an intelligent response. Is that your argument? Says a lot about you.
It’s a giant sandbox (:
Umm I want one
Now skynet can take control off road equipment.
Is this the tractor from "Avatar"?
That tractor was much, much larger.
Or the trees were much much smaller. But it's cool.
Lazaro Perez looks absolutely nothing like it
Everything changed when the Tractor Nation attacked.
