RESILEX HEX
HEX is being developed to test a complete loop: receive a digital earthworks task, carry it out, measure the terrain and compare the result with the project.
The machine is a means to develop the interface between the Orchestrator and the physical world. Tracked and six-legged layouts remain open design directions; the final arrangement will follow engineering evidence rather than appearance.
Current stage: concept and design study
How it connects
People set the objective and retain control.
What HEX is intended to test
The first version does not need to solve every construction task. It needs to make the task, execution and measured result work together.
Receive the target geometry, work zone, limits and acceptance criteria.
Let an operator review the task and retain the ability to stop or take control.
Control mobility and excavation equipment through the machine interface.
Estimate position, understand the work area and measure the changed surface.
Compare the measured terrain with the required geometry and tolerances.
Accept the operation, investigate the deviation or prepare another pass.
Why start here
The machine must understand a changing surface, control a heavy tool, work safely around obstacles and prove that the ground now matches the intended result.
Open layout study
A tracked platform offers familiar mobility and mechanical simplicity. A six-legged layout may provide new ways to stabilise and position the machine. Simulation and engineering analysis must decide which advantages are real.
Built around the task
Without a permanent operator station, space can be used differently for structure, sensing, energy and tools. Access for inspection, repair and safe manual recovery remains essential.
Where we are now
Mass, power, digging force, speed, accuracy, runtime and environmental limits are not yet fixed. The next step is a digital model and simulation of the first excavation scenario.
