The same technology used to automate vehicles from other industries was used in the development of Forge. A Nav system of robotic components installs easily into a Forge unit, converting it from manual to robotic control. The skid steer bases used for Forge are all electrical (or by-wire) vehicles, making it easy for Nav to leverage the vehicle’s existing CAN Bus, providing access to transmission, steering, acceleration, braking, and other critical functions.

Each Forge unit is full-automation capable at the time of shipment, but can be easily remote controlled or teleoperated from a remote command center.
