Autonomous Excavator

NetEase Lingdong launched “Lingjue,” the world’s first embodied AI model for excavator loading in open-pit mines, at WAIC. This model supports China’s intelligent mining goals and utilizes multimodal data-driven autonomous learning. “Lingjue” achieves 80% of human operator efficiency in harsh conditions and 70% unmanned operation. NetEase Lingdong also announced open-sourcing “Lingjue” dataset and a collaboration plan aiming for unmanned operations in 30 mines by 2027, extending its technology to other industries as well.
