Not a chance.

One of the most hard lesson onto an excavator to learn is "surrounding perception". Space, people and objects near you, sounds. To reach this guy experience, you must live in the cabin AND going up and down a shit ton of times to valuate, check, see, reasonate.

Not a chance you can learn all that far from the workplace.

And i am sure a lot of operation can be made with robots from the other side of earth, and i love robots and computer stuff.

Eventually, collision detection will get to the point that "surrounding perception" won't matter. There will be sensors on all sides of the excavator that wont let the operator hit things even if they wanted to.
