A method for controlling loading material to a bucket of a work machine from a stack of material is disclosed. The method includes the steps: of selecting a control profile to be used as a basic control profile including indications for positions of at least one of the bucket and the boom of the work machine as a function of a distance traveled by the work machine with reference to a reference location; obtaining information of a distance traveled by the work machine while loading material to the bucket; examining at least one condition regarding the work machine during loading; and determining, on the basis of the examined condition, whether another position than indicated by the selected control profile is to be used for at least one of the bucket and the boom.

Systems and methods for compensating dipper swing control. One method includes, with at least one processor, determining a direction of compensation opposite a current swing direction of the dipper and applying the maximum available swing torque in the direction of compensation when an acceleration of the dipper is greater than a predetermined acceleration value. The method can also include determining a current state of the shovel and performing the above steps when the current state of the shovel is a swing-to-truck state or a return-to-tuck state. When the current state of the shovel is a dig-state, the method can include limiting the maximum available swing torque and allowing, with the at least one processor, swing torque to ramp up to the maximum available swing torque over a predetermined period of time when dipper is retracted to a predetermined crowd position.

A work is classified into a type with high accuracy. A method for producing a work type estimation model trained comprises: obtaining training data including a specific viewpoint image, as viewed from a specific viewpoint position, of a three-dimensional model representing a stereoscopic shape of a work machine at work, and a result of classifying a work into a type with which the specific viewpoint image is labeled and which indicates content of a motion of the work machine; and training the work type estimation model through the training data.

A system and method for automatically adjusting blade pitch in crawler dozers, motor graders, and other bladed work vehicles includes estimating a current tractive force of the work vehicle utilizing one or more controllers that establish whether the current tractive force of the work vehicle can be reduced by rotating the blade to an optimized pitch angle. A command is transmitted from the one or more controllers to a blade actuation system to rotate the blade to the optimized pitch angle. The method may be performed iteratively to repeatedly adjust the blade pitch to optimized angles as the work vehicle operates and conditions affecting the optimal blade pitch angle vary.
