Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of powered earth-moving vehicles, including to automatically calibrate sensors on a powered earth-moving vehicle, such as to determine position and orientation of directional sensors on movable vehicle parts. For example, an on-vehicle sensor to be calibrated may include a LIDAR sensor located on the powered earth-moving vehicle, such as on a movable component part of the vehicle (e.g., a hydraulic arm, a tool attachment, etc.), and a global common frame of reference is determined for different datasets gathered at different times from such a sensor in order to combine or compare the datasets, such as by determining the sensor position in 3D space at a time of dataset gathering (e.g., relative to another reference point on the vehicle with a known location in the global common frame of reference, such as by using one or more determined transforms).

Methods and systems for mining, for example a mining operation including: a surface mine site including a processing site situated remotely from a blast site within the mine site and coupled by a network of roads, wherein a first proportion of the roads are sealed and a second proportion of the roads have a maximum width in the range of 3 to 12 metres; a fleet of autonomous material handling units located at the surface mine site, each autonomous material handling unit including a wireless transceiver for coupling to a communications network. The autonomous material handling units include a plurality of small capacity haulage vehicles, each having a maximum payload capacity of 80 tonnes or less. The autonomous material handling units are configured to be controlled by a control centre via the communications network.

A management system of a work site includes a sprinkling data generation unit and an assignment unit. The sprinkling data generation unit is configured to generate sprinkling data indicating a sprinkling condition of a sprinkling vehicle at the work site. The assignment unit is configured to, when receiving a transport request of an operator, output a transport command for causing the sprinkling vehicle operating based on the sprinkling data to travel to a destination position.

An automated operational and mission planning system for power unit and implement operations. The system generating connection profiles based on power unit profiles and implement profiles to facilitate operational controls for a combined machine system. The mission planning system generating plans for selected projects using implement-based operation instructions. The operational system onboard the power unit executing mission plan with connection profile adjustments to drive implement operation.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for improved control of articulating boom assemblies are disclosed herein. Automated functions, such as auto ground and auto stow functions, may be provided to automatically move an articulating boom assembly to the desired position. When an automated function is requested, a series of waypoints may be generated, and the boom assembly may move a boom tip thereof through each of the series of waypoints. Using the machine geometry of the boom assembly and the pose of the boom assembly when the automated function is requested may enable the waypoints to be determined. The automated functions may enable the boom assembly to be moved faster than when manually operated and also eliminates the need for the operator to provide a series of complex inputs required to move each joint of the articulating boom assembly to reach the desired position.

A remote control system includes a mobile terminal configured to control a construction machine in a first operating mode using one or more control elements of the mobile terminal and to control at least one imaging device in a second operating mode using the one or more control elements of the mobile terminal. The at least one imaging device is controllable by the one or more control elements of the mobile terminal to record an environment of the construction machine and/or a working tool of the construction machine. A position and/or alignment of the at least one imaging device is controllable via the one or more control elements of the mobile terminal.

A management system of a workplace includes: an expected time calculation unit that calculates an expected time at which an unmanned haul vehicle arrives at a work area; and a water-sprinkling condition decision unit that decides a water-sprinkling condition of an unmanned water-sprinkling vehicle in the work area based on the expected time.

An unmanned vehicle management system includes a first unmanned vehicle including a target position sensor that detects a relative position with respect to a loader, a second unmanned vehicle including a dump body onto which a load is loaded by the loader, and a management device that manages travel of each of the first unmanned vehicle and the second unmanned vehicle.

The present disclosure provides a parameter selection device for a work machine that enables the work machine to efficiently travel at a work site where a travel route or a slope changes from moment to moment. The parameter selection device includes a parameter selection section. The parameter selection section calculates an average loaded travel distance per cycle, a travel ratio for each slope in loaded travel, and a virtual travel distance for each slope per cycle of the work machine (processing P1-P3). Further, the parameter selection section calculates a predicted fuel consumption amount for each slope per cycle, a travel time for each slope per cycle, a predicted fuel consumption amount per unit load weight, and a predicted production amount per cycle (processing P4-P8). Then, the parameter selection section selects a recommended parameter set, based on the predicted fuel consumption amount and the predicted production amount per cycle for each parameter set (processing P9).

A remote operation support system and method that can improve spatial recognition accuracy by an operator who remotely operates work machine is provided. A captured image representing a sight around work machine (40) is captured by an imaging device (412b) mounted on the work machine (40). A synthetic image is generated by superimposing an index image representing an index member positioned in a cab (454) (operator's room) of the work machine (40) in a pseudo manner on the captured image. The synthetic image is displayed on a remote output interface (220) of a remote operation device (20) that allows remote operation of the work machine (40).
