The paper describes the concept and design considerations of a robotic truck system intended for use in surface mine applications. An engineering prototype of the designed system will be implemented at the Syncrude oil sands mine near Fort McMurray in Northern Alberta. The robotic truck will perform routine hauling functions through a combination of manual, teleoperated and autonomous activities. The primary objective for the design is to provide an integrated intelligent vehicle system that is capable of navigating autonomously across outdoor terrain avoiding collisions with obstacles that could be encountered. This capability will enable the robotic hauling trucks at Syncrude to operate autonomously on the routes between the loading area and dumping area. Operations at the loading and dumping areas will be performed using manual or teleoperated control. Future developments will allow autonomous operation of the robotic truck at the load and dump areas.
