DEPLOY tracks 9 makers (including ASI Mining, BelAZ, and Caterpillar Mining), 10 models, and 31 deployments on the record, most recently Epiroc Autonomous Haulage (LinkOA) at Roy Hill Mine. Autonomous haulage, drilling, and loading systems for surface and underground mining.
Mining autonomy is the most mature fleet category in physical AI: Komatsu FrontRunner and Caterpillar MineStar have run driverless haul trucks at named mines for over a decade, moving billions of tonnes with multi-year safety records. DEPLOY tracks autonomous haulage systems (Komatsu, Caterpillar, Liebherr, ASI Mining, BelAZ), autonomous blasthole drills, and underground loaders by named-mine deployment and operator. This is an all-verification category: the claims carry decade-long operating records, so the verified-vs-claimed asymmetry runs toward proof rather than promise.
