    Abstract: A computer program product for deriving a heading of an implement of a work vehicle. The work vehicle comprises, as independently tracked components, the implement, a chassis, and an arm connecting the two. For each of the independently tracked components a respective IMU is correspondingly associated, wherein the IMU provides an IMU reference frame of the component. The computer program product derives, on the basis of the IMU reference frames, internal and external constraints consistent component reference frames. The heading of the implement is derived utilizing the consistent component reference frames.

    Abstract: Automation and/or operator assistance in an excavation operation to obtain a design surface that makes use of resistance data indicative of a resistance exerted on an end effector of the excavator when it engages material to be moved. Control commands for maneuvering the end effector are mapped to movement commands for the end effector according to a first and a second conversion rule. Digging under the first conversion rule causes the end effector to move according to a target path derived from the design surface, whereas digging under the second conversion rule causes the end effector to move as a function of the resistance data and a digging efficiency criterion, which allows to move the end effector independently from the target path. The automation and/or operator assistance automatically transitions from the first conversion rule to the second conversion rule as a function of the resistance data.

    Abstract: A system and method for configuring a machine control unit of a construction machine for performing an earth-moving operation, the earth-moving operation comprising a multitude of phases that are to be performed consecutively, the method comprising, by a computing unit: receiving three-dimensional measuring data of a terrain in a surrounding of the construction machine in at least a first detection range, detecting elements of a previous phase of the earth-moving operation based on the three-dimensional measuring data, and configuring, based at least on the detected elements, the machine control unit to at least partially perform the next phase of the earth-moving operation automatically.

    Abstract: An improved controlling of a dumping of a load of an earth moving machine, which has a conveying container configured for carrying the load. Control data for maneuvering the conveying container according to a selected dumping mode are generated by analyzing perception data and/or machine sensing data to determine a material parameter providing information on an adhesive property of a current load of the conveying container. Based on the material parameter, an appropriate dumping mode is selected, e.g. to improve efficiency of the unloading sequence and to reduce wear of the earth moving machine.

    Abstract: A system for determining a swing boom angle of an excavator including a vehicle frame including a cabin, a swing boom arranged on the vehicle frame and configured to be rotated relative to the vehicle frame about a first rotation axis and a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. A first end of the pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder is coupled to the vehicle frame and a second end is coupled to the swing boom, wherein the cylinder is configured to be rotated relative to the vehicle frame about a second rotation axis at the first end, wherein the cylinder is configured to rotate the swing boom. The system comprises a first inertial measurement unit (IMU), configured to be mounted on the swing boom and to generate first IMU data, a second IMU configured to be mounted on the cylinder and to generate second IMU data and a processing unit.

    Abstract: A system for determining a swing boom angle of an excavator. The system comprises a first measuring sensor configured to be mounted on a vehicle frame or a swing boom 4, wherein the first measuring sensor is configured to determine a first interim swing boom angle of the swing boom relative to the vehicle frame. The first interim swing boom angle is one of a discrete amount of one or more intermittent first interim swing boom angles, each of the discrete amount of one or more intermittent first interim swing boom angles being spaced from each other by at least a value of one degree. A second measuring sensor mounted on the swing boom to determine a second interim swing boom angle of the swing boom relative to the vehicle frame, the second interim swing boom angle being from an indiscrete angle range and a processing unit.
