useless, 2 machines better than that. 2 drivers quicker than that, as well can not operate 2 booms quickly and safely.
nice idea, but not practical.

Did a bit more searching, It's apparent that they are used in Japan for Search and Rescue operations. Where a second boom can be used to hold up and support structure, while the other clears underneath, and the fact that there is the capability to run two different attachments, without the downtime of moving the machine and swapping.

its like the loader robot from aliens, more a robot than an excavator with the modern quick hitches with hydraulic couplers as well still think it would be quick and easier with one arm.
doosan where demo'ing a control mechanism that fitted onto your arm and mimics your arm movement to operate a mini looked cool till you reached for the coffee or scratched your you knows whats haha
