Abstract: Described herein is a visual indication system implemented on a mobile machine. The visual indication system at least partially surrounds the mobile machine and includes a plurality of displayable regions. Objects surrounding the mobile machine are detected using an object detection sensor. A direction with respect to the mobile machine is detected for each of the objects. A current state of the mobile machine is determined. An object-directed indicator for each of the objects is generated based on the current state of the mobile machine. The object-directed indicator for each of the objects is displayed on the visual indication system at a particular displayable region based on the direction of the particular object.

Abstract: An earth moving vehicle (EMV) autonomously performs an earth moving operation within a dig site. If the EMV determines that a state of the EMV or the dig site triggers a triggering condition associated with a pause in the autonomous behavior of the EMV, the EMV determines a risk associated with the state or triggering condition. If the risk is greater than a first threshold, the EMV continues the autonomous performance and notifies a remote operator that the triggering condition was triggered. If the risk is greater than the first threshold risk but less than a second threshold risk, the EMV is configured to operate in a default state before continuing and notifying the remote operator. If the risk is greater than the second threshold risk, the EMV notifies the remote operator of the state pauses the performance until feedback is received from the remote operator.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of earth-moving construction and/or mining vehicles, including to automatically determine and control autonomous movement (e.g., of a vehicle's hydraulic arm(s), tool attachment(s), tracks/wheels, rotatable chassis, etc.) to move materials or perform other actions based at least in part on data about an environment around the vehicle(s). A perception system on a vehicle that includes at least a LiDAR component may be used to repeatedly map a surrounding environment and determine a 3D point cloud with 3D data points reflecting the surrounding ground and nearby objects, with the LiDAR component mounted on a component part of the vehicle that is moved independently of the vehicle chassis to gather additional data about the environment. GPS data from receivers on the vehicle may further be used to calculate absolute locations of the 3D data points.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, from an inverter unit of a mining vehicle, driveline information indicative of at least a torque status of an electric motor of the mining vehicle configured to perform an autonomous loading and hauling cycle in a mining automation system, detecting, on the basis of the driveline information from the inverter unit, a phase change condition to change a phase of the autonomous loading and hauling cycle performed by the mining vehicle, from a first phase to a second phase, and controlling, in response to the detected phase change condition, the change of the phase of cycle from the first phase to the second phase.

Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed to direct an autonomous loader to a dump truck. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving dump truck geolocation data for a dump truck; receiving loader geolocation data for an autonomous loader; raising a bucket on the autonomous loader to a height; directing the autonomous loader toward the dump truck using the loader geolocation data and the dump truck geolocation data so that the bucket is positioned above a body or bed of the dump truck; and rotating the bucket downward to release a load in the bucket into the body or bed of dump truck.

Abstract: A method for operating an underground loader is disclosed. The method includes detecting, by a controller, a first position of the underground loader within a worksite. The method also includes determining, by the controller, a location of a dumping pit within the worksite. Further, the method includes determining, by the controller, a route for the underground loader to tram from the first position to the location of the dumping pit. Furthermore, the method includes controlling, by the controller, a movement of the underground loader along the route up to the location of the dumping pit. The method also includes moving, by the controller, an implement assembly of the underground loader based on a profile of a terrain along the route and a height of an embankment defined at an edge of the dumping pit.

Abstract: Provided is a worksite monitoring system that achieves suppression of a decrease in the work efficiency of a working machine. The worksite monitoring system includes: a camera that captures an image of a worksite; an object detection part that detects, on the basis of the image captured by the camera, a working machine in the worksite; a position acquisition part that acquires a position of the working machine detected by the object detection part; a type determination part that determines a type of the working machine detected by the object detection part; a working area setting part that sets a working area associated with the type determined by the type determination part for the working machine detected by the object detection part; and an unsafety state detection part that detects an unsafety state on the basis of the position of the working machine acquired by the position acquisition part and the working area set by the working area setting part.

Abstract: A system controls a work machine that loads materials onto a conveyance vehicle. The system includes a controller and a detection device. The controller controls the work machine in an automatic control mode in which work is performed automatically. The detection device detects an approach of the conveyance vehicle toward the work machine. The automatic control mode includes a loading mode in which the work machine is caused to move to perform loading work for loading onto the conveyance vehicle, and an other mode other than the loading mode. The other mode includes at least one of a mode for gathering fallen materials and a digging mode for further increasing the materials by digging. The controller causes the automatic control mode to transition from the other mode to the loading mode when the approach of the conveyance vehicle is detected.
