Teleo converts heavy equipment in the mining and construction sectors into remotely controlled robots by retrofitting existing machinery with advanced technology. This allows operators to control equipment from a safe location, improving crew safety and reducing exposure to hazardous environments. Unlike competitors that sell new machinery, Teleo focuses on upgrading current equipment, which helps clients save on costs. The goal is to enhance safety and efficiency in these industries through teleoperation.
