Systems, devices, apparatus and methods for cleaning contaminated tanks without introducing large amounts of free water or liquefier into the tanks. A gathering arm assembly and a bucket assembly is used to remove and break up waste debris from a contaminated tank.

DETECTING UNTRAVERSABLE ENVIRONMENT AND PREVENTING DAMAGE BY A VEHICLE

A vehicle moves through an environment (e.g., a farming, construction, mining, or forestry environment) and performs one or more actions in the environment. Portions of the environment may include moisture, such as puddles or mud patches. A control system associated with the vehicle may include a traversability model or a moisture model to help the vehicle operate in the environment with the moisture. In particular, the control system may employ the traversability model to reduce the likelihood of the vehicle attempting to traverse an untraversable portion of the environment, and the control system may employ the moisture model to reduce the likelihood of the vehicle performing an action that will damage a portion of the environment.

CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WORK VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD, AND WORK VEHICLE
20180002894 · 2018-01-04 ·

A control system for a work vehicle includes an acceleration detection device and a controller. The acceleration detection device detects an acceleration of the work vehicle. The controller determines whether the acceleration is greater than a first threshold and reduces the a vehicle speed when the acceleration continues to be equal to or greater than the first threshold over a predetermined first determination time period.

LOW PROFILE COMPACT TOOL CARRIERS
20180009642 · 2018-01-11 ·

Compact tool carriers having a loader mounted to a low-profile mainframe are disclosed. In some embodiments, the pivot points of the mainframe about which the loader is pivoted are low relative to the mainframe to reduce the mainframe size and to lower the center of gravity to improve the stability of the compact tool carrier during use.

Commissioning a construction vehicle for machine control
11708683 · 2023-07-25 · ·

Methods for commissioning a construction vehicle for machine control operations are provided. A GNSS receiver configured for determining position information, tilt information, and heading information is coupled to a rigid member of the construction vehicle. The commissioning process provides parameters that can be used for tracking and controlling movement of an implement coupled to the construction vehicle during the machine control operations.

REMOTE OPERATION DEVICE AND REMOTE OPERATION SYSTEM
20230003002 · 2023-01-05 ·

A remote operation device and a remote operation system that can reduce or eliminate deviation of the position of an indicator image of a working unit such as a line image in an image with respect to the position of the working unit in a real space. In some case, because of a cause such as a communication failure, a position posture coordinate value of a working unit corresponding to captured image data in a work environment image deviates from a position posture coordinate value of the working unit estimated according to an operation form of a remote operation mechanism. In this case, a semitransparent indicator image Img22) simulating a bucket is superimposed on a work environment image Img12) in a position where the bucket is estimated to be originally present and deviating from an image region representing the bucket.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING TRANSPORT VEHICLE

A controller acquires a static path indicative of a target route of a transport vehicle. The static path includes a first endpoint and a second endpoint. The static path is set between a first work machine and a second work machine. The controller determines a first dynamic path that connects the first endpoint and a first target position for work of the first work machine. The controller determines a second dynamic path that connects the second endpoint and a second target position for work of the second work machine. The controller controls the transport vehicle so that the transport vehicle travels according to the static path, the first dynamic path, and the second dynamic path.

Three-dimensional reconstruction method and apparatus for material pile, electronic device, and computer-readable medium

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a three-dimensional reconstruction method and apparatus for a material pile, an electronic device, and a computer-readable medium. The method may include: acquiring, in response to an instruction for controlling an excavator body of an excavator to rotate to transport materials being detected, a sequence of depth images of an excavated material pile collected by a binocular camera provided on a side of the excavator; and performing three-dimensional reconstruction based on the sequence of depth images of the material pile, to generate a three-dimensional model of the material pile.

Remote Wireless Hydraulic Frame
20230235533 · 2023-07-27 ·

A remote wireless hydraulic frame preferably includes a frame member, a frame transceiver, a frame bridge controller and an electro-hydraulic conversion valve. The frame bridge controller receives signals from a cab bridge controller through a cab transceiver and the frame transceiver. The frame member preferably includes a frame support, an engine, a hydraulic pump, at least one electrical component and a plurality of hydraulicly operated components. The electro-hydraulic conversion valve preferably includes a valve block and a plurality of proportioning valves.
