Featuretechnology and Product Data Modelling can be considered as suitable methods for integrating CA-systems within an NC-process chain. This is clearly proved by a feature-based prototype system for flexible automatised process planning and NC-programming which has been developed at the Laboratory for Machine Tools and Production Engineering (WZL), Aachen University of Technology. The concept development is based on methods and tools provided by ISO 10303 'STEP'. The system has been realised on the platform of commercial CA-systems.

This paper describes the theoretical development and experimental evaluation of a guidance system for an autonomous Load, Haul and Dump truck (LHD) for use in underground mining. The particular contributions of this paper are in designing the navigation system to be able to cope with vehicle slip in rough uneven terrain using information from an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and a bearing only laser. Results are presented using data obtained during field trials.
