Abstract: A system includes a work implement sensor attached to a work implement to detect work implement roll and pitch angles, and a controller. The controller acquires an actual frame length, a position of the first body connecting portion, and the roll and pitch angles. The controller calculates an assumed position of the first frame connecting portion when the yaw angle is assumed to be a predetermined angle based on the roll and pitch angles in the first posture, an assumed frame length indicating a distance between the assumed position of the first frame connecting portion and the first body connecting portion, the yaw angle of the work implement in the first posture based on a difference between the actual and assumed frame lengths, and a position of the predetermined portion of the work implement based on the roll, pitch and yaw angles of the work implement in the first posture.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for automatically implementing a commanded change in elevation of a ground profile being created by a work vehicle such as a dozer using a slope control system of the work vehicle. A controller calculates an adjusted target value of a mainfall slope and an adjustment distance sufficient to achieve the desired change in elevation and then controls the mainfall slope of the work vehicle to the adjusted target value as the work vehicle advances by the adjustment distance. Then the mainfall slope is automatically returned to its original value.

Abstract: In some implementations, an implement control system includes an operator control configured for manipulation in one or more motions and a controller. The controller may be configured to, based on a particular motion of the one or more motions, cause actuation of one or more first actuators, configured to selectively raise or lower a first lateral side of a work implement of a machine, and one or more second actuators, configured to selectively raise or lower a second lateral side of the work implement, in tandem. The one or more first actuators and the one or more second actuators may be controlled by independent control systems.

Abstract: A method for deriving a wear state of a soil interaction component of a soil processing implement of a construction vehicle. The method comprises steps of 1.) providing a geometry model regarding an assumed shape of the soil interaction component, 2.) engaging the soil by using the soil interaction component and tracking a motion for deriving tracking data of the soil interaction component, 3.) using the tracking data and the geometry model to derive an expected 3D surface model, 4.) providing visual 3D perception data of a soil area affected by the engaging, such that the visual 3D perception data and the expected 3D surface model can be referenced to one another, and 5.) comparing the visual 3D perception data with the expected 3D surface model and, based thereof, determining a deviation of an effective shape of the soil interaction component from the assumed shape.

Abstract: A controller-implemented method for automated control of at least one of an autonomous or semiautonomous machine to clear at least one windrow along a work surface. The method includes utilizing a visual perception sensor to detect said windrow, generating a plurality of windrow visual detection signals, determining a position of a windrow relative to the machine based upon the plurality of windrow visual detection signals, and generating machine control commands to clear the windrow.

Abstract: A system controls a work machine including a work implement. The system includes a load sensor and a processor. The load sensor detects a load acting on the work implement. The processor controls the work machine to dig a digging wall formed between adjacent slots. The processor moves the work machine to either one of the adjacent slots adjacent to the digging wall when the load during digging the digging wall is equal to or greater than a first threshold. A method is executed by a processor to control the work machine. The method includes detecting a load acting on the work implement, controlling the work machine to dig the digging wall, and moving the work machine to one of the adjacent slots when the load during digging the digging wall is equal to or greater than a first threshold.

Abstract: A work machine is provided with grade control capability using an imaging system, e.g., rather than GPS. The work machine includes at least one work implement for working at least part of a terrain, and first sensors (e.g., cylinder sensors) generate signals corresponding to positions of the work implement. Second sensors (e.g., stereo cameras) generate signals corresponding to positions of representative features of the terrain (e.g., curbs) in a field of view. A controller receives the signals and determines in a local reference system independent of a global reference system: first position information corresponding to the work implement; and second position information corresponding to the representative features. According to a selected control mode, target parameters for the work implement are determined based on the second position information corresponding to the representative features, and output signals are generated corresponding to a difference between the first position information and the target parameters.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for work cycle tracking for a self-propelled work vehicle having an integrated or drawn/pushed implement, for example comprising a scraper, and a loading container for receiving material worked thereby. First sensors generate data corresponding to operating parameters of the work vehicle, and second sensors generate data corresponding to operating parameters of the implement. Data storage includes, for each of various work states associated with the work cycle, correlations between operating parameters, of the work vehicle and/or implement, and a start or completion of the respective work state. A controller determines a current work state of the various work states associated with the work cycle based on current input data from the first and second sets of sensors, with respect to the stored correlations, and generates one or more output signals based on the determined work state.
