Each lift cylinder for the DCM may have an associated ride control circuit with an accumulator, a ride control conduit fluidly connected to a carry end of the lift cylinder and having a flow restriction element, and a ride control accumulator valve fluidly connected to the accumulator and the ride control conduit and operable to either block or allow fluid communication between the carry end and the accumulator through the flow restriction element. Each rid control circuit may also include a head end valve fluidly connected to between the head end of the lift cylinder and a low pressure fluid reservoir and operable to block or allow fluid communication between the head end and the low pressure fluid reservoir.

In accordance with an example embodiment, a main frame, a work tool configured to move relative to the main frame to move a material, a first imaging apparatus aimed at a first portion of the work tool to capture a first image, a second imaging apparatus aimed at a second portion of the work tool to capture a second image, an electronic processor in communication with the first imaging apparatus and the second imaging apparatus, wherein the electronic processor is configured to generate a modified image, and a display for displaying the modified image of the material being moved by the work tool, wherein the modified image is based on a combination of the first image and the second image, and the modified image omits the work tool.

A method for monitoring a machine operating at a worksite, is provided. The machine includes an implement for performing one or more implement operations and is configured to be propelled by a set of ground engaging members between a first location and second location. A first input indicative of start of a travelling operation of the machine after completion of a first implement operation at the first location, is received. One or more transmission parameters associated with the machine are determined, when the machine moves from first location to second location. A second input indicative of end of the travelling operation at start of a second implement operation at the second location is received. A number of revolutions completed by ground engaging members between the first location and the second location is determined based on the transmission parameters. The number of revolutions is displayed on input/output device associated with machine.

A filtering device is configured to estimate the characteristics of noise superposed on measurement data relating to the status of a controlled machine based on the status information representing the status of a controlled machine, thus adjusting the filtering to eliminate noise based on the estimated noise characteristics.

An image capturing device is provided on a working machine and takes a captured image of surroundings including an object around the working machine. A first setting part sets a detection region in the captured image where the object is detected. A responsive action part executes a predetermined responsive action in a case that the object is in the detection region in the captured image. The first setting part sets a boundary that is a limit of the detection region in the captured image. The boundary extends in a front orthogonal direction and has a certain shape.

A method includes receiving a worksite plan to be executed by at least one machine at a worksite from a computing device of a supervising entity, the controller being located at a non-line-of-sight (NLOS) location with respect to the worksite. The worksite plan may include a boundary of the worksite at which the worksite plan is implemented, at least one task defining the worksite plan, and a selection of at least one machine to perform the task. The method may include receiving a validation signal from a device located at the worksite, the validation indicating that the worksite is ready for implementation of the worksite plan based on at least one parameter of worksite readiness. The method may include selecting a first mode of operation of the machine to perform the task and transmitting first instructions to the machine to perform the task based on the first mode of operation.

A first work machine includes a work implement. A method of controlling the first work machine includes acquiring a traveling state of the first work machine that is performing work with the work implement while traveling on a first work path, determining whether the first work machine is deviating from the first work path based on the traveling state, and stopping travel of the first work machine upon determining that the first work machine is deviating from the first work path.

A retrofit assembly used to substitute a remotely controlled cylinder for a furrow closing standard spring on agricultural equipment. The retrofit assembly includes a cylinder mount including a cylinder mount tab and a cylinder mount fixture. The cylinder mount is connected to the furrow mount. The cylinder bracket 30 is mounted to the agricultural equipment. A remotely controlled fluid cylinder is mounted between the cylinder mounting assembly and the cylinder mounting bracket. A standard spring for a furrow closing assembly on agricultural equipment can be replaced with a remotely control fluid cylinder allowing the furrow closing assembly to be controlled remotely by the user.

A system includes a receiver mounted on a work machine, and a processor. The receiver receives a signal usable to identify a position of the work machine. The processor acquires a position of the receiver from the signal received by the receiver. The processor acquires a calculated position of a calibration point in the work machine by calculating a position of the calibration point from the position of the receiver. The processor acquires an actual position of the calibration point. The processor generates calibration data usable to calibrate a position of a reference point in the work machine by comparing the actual position with the calculated position of the calibration point.

In some implementations, the EMV uses a calibration to inform autonomous control over the EMV. To calibrate an EMV, the system first selects a calibration action comprising a control signal for actuating a control surface of the EMV. Then, using a calibration model comprising a machine learning model trained based on one or more previous calibration actions taken by the EMV, the system predicts a response of the control surface to the control signal of the calibration action. After the EMV executes the control signal to perform the calibration action, the EMV system monitors the actual response of the control signal and uses that to update the calibration model based on a comparison between the predicted and monitored states of the control surface.
