I work on these things. I've been doing it on and off since 2012. The machine in that video is weird as frig. To the point where I would almost say it's AI, but I don't think that it is.

Okay I looked it up. That's a machine that was recently refurbished by the TAKRAF Group in India.

This unique bridge-type BWE has a 1,400 liter bucket capacity and has completed over 150,000 working hours during its 33-year working life cycle. To extend its operational life, NLCIL decided to undergo a major refurbishment, replacing all critical structural and mechanical components. TAKRAF India was entrusted with the work, which was scheduled to take 12 months from engineering to commissioning.
