【外媒】小松的挖机要上月亮了，你知道吗？！

【重型网 独家编译】近日外媒发布一则消息，小松月球建筑设备数字孪生技术（digital twin technology）开发提案入选日本国土交通厅主导的外太空自动化施工项目，并公开了一张太空自动驾驶挖机的样子，科技感十足。

看到这台挖机的时候，小编emo了，挖机界内卷都这么严重了吗？前一秒还在地球上讨论价格战呢，下一秒就看到一台自动驾驶挖机即将登月（技术还在探索中）！

上图是小松给世人描述的十年后挖机在月球和地球建设的样子，他们有一个共同点都是远程操作。究竟是怎样的外太空自动化建设项目，小松将用怎样的技术来实现月球自动化操作的，小编给大家找了一些资料，咱们一起来看看吧！

外媒全文大意如下：

小松株式会社（以下简称"小松"）已申请了关于促进外层空间自主建设创新技术开发项目（由日本国土交通省（以下简称"国土交通省"牵头，日本文部科学省合作）的提案请求。该项目由国土交通省于2021年7月决定，作为其加速空间技术研究、开发和利用战略计划（星尘计划）的一部分。小松提出的月球建筑设备数字孪生技术开发提案已被选为自主建筑相关技术（自动化和远程控制）的合格目标。

在促进自主建筑创新技术发展委员会的领导下，所有选定的公司和组织将努力进行各自技术的研究和开发。这样，在不久的将来，小松将为日本先进建设的成就和外太空建设活动的研发做出贡献，例如在月球上盖房子……

在2022年（3月止）的3年中期经营计划中，小松正致力于通过推进产品（机器的自动化和自主性）和流程（op）来实现未来安全、高生产率、智能和清洁的工作场所。关于月球建筑设备数字孪生技术（digital twin technology）的选定开发，小松将在产品和工艺中利用积累的技术。

由于月球表面的实际物体很复杂，小松认为数字孪生技术（digital twin technology）至关重要，可以精确地重建现场条件和机器。为了开发这项技术，小松将进行可行性研究，以验证开发高精度数字孪生技术的可能性，这是月球建筑设备的基础技术。具体来说，小松将在网络空间中创建和操作液压挖掘机，并将其运动与地球上的实际设备进行比较，以验证模拟器的精度。小松还将月球的表面条件设置为网络空间，并检查模拟器中挖掘机的运动，以确定我们的月球设备面临的问题。

Komatsu Selected for Development of Innovative Technologies for Outer Space Autonomous Construction Managed by the Japanese Government: Participating in the Project for Promoting the Development of Innovative Technologies for Autonomous Construction, Such as on the Moon

Komatsu Ltd. (hereafter “Komatsu”) (President and CEO: Hiroyuki Ogawa) has applied for the request for proposal concerning the Project for Promoting the Development of Innovative Technologies for Outer Space Autonomous Construction (lead-managed by Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (hereafter "MLIT") with collaboration by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology). This Project was decided by the MLIT in July this year as part of its Strategic Program for Accelerating Research, Development and Utilization of Space Technology (Stardust Program). Komatsu’s proposal of the Development of Digital Twin Technology for Lunar Construction Equipment has been selected as an eligible target of Technology related to Autonomous Construction (Automation and Remote Control). 

Under the leadership of the Council of Promoting the Development of Innovative Technologies for Autonomous Construction, an inter-ministry collaboration body, all selected companies and organizations will diligently conduct research and development of their individual  technologies. In this way, in the near future Komatsu will contribute to Japan’s achievement of advanced construction and research and development of outer space construction activities, such as on the moon. future.

Adaptation of lunar construction equipment by using digital twin technology (conceptual)

In the ongoing three-year, mid-term management plan, to be completed in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022, Komatsu is working to achieve safe, highly productive, smart, and clean workplaces of the future by advancing products (automation and autonomy of machines) and processes (optimization of construction operations). Concerning the selected Development of Digital Twin Technology for Lunar Construction Equipment, Komatsu will utilize accumulated technologies in both products and processes. 

Because it’s complicated to approach actual objects on the moon's surface, Komatsu believes that digital twin technology is essential, precisely recreating site conditions and machines. To develop this technology, Komatsu will conduct a feasibility study to verify the possibility of developing high-precision digital twin technology, the basic technology of lunar construction equipment. Specifically, Komatsu will create and operate a hydraulic excavator in cyberspace and compare its movements with actual equipment on Earth to verify the simulator's precision. Komatsu will also set the surface conditions of the moon as cyberspace, and check the movements of the excavator in the simulator in order to identify the issues facing our lunar equipment. 

Achievement of safe, highly productive, smart and clean workplaces of the future by advancing products (automation and autonomy of machines) and processes (optimization of construction operations)

Towards the next 100 years, Komatsu will continue to create value through manufacturing and technology innovation to empower a sustainable future where businesses, people, and our planet thrive together.
