A mobile printing robot system for printing a construction layout. The method addresses a problem that occurs when there is a loss of a tracking lock to an absolute positioning device, such as a total station. In a construction site, a line of sight between a mobile robot and an absolute positioning device may be lost when the mobile robot moves into a shadowed region behind an obstacle, such as a column. The mobile printing robot may use its local sensor data to continue to print until a maximum estimated position is reached. The mobile robot may also provide position updates to the absolute positioning device to aid it to regain a track lock when the mobile robot emerged from the shadowed region.

An autonomous jobsite control system includes a plurality of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs); and processing circuitry, configured to: obtain scheduled or requested worksite support for work at a worksite; determine, based on the scheduled or requested worksite support, a type and quantity of materials, a type of end effector for one of the plurality of AMRs, a type and quantity of tools, and a type and quantity of supplies required to perform the work; determine a path for the one of the plurality of AMRs to collect the materials, the end effector, the tools, and the supplies required and deliver the materials, the tools, the supplies, and the one of the plurality of AMRs with the end effector; and dispatch the one of the plurality of AMRs along the path to collect and deliver the materials, the end effector, the tools, and the supplies.

A vehicle system includes a vehicle support module configured to supply at least one of electrical energy, pressurized fluid, or rotational mechanical energy to a work vehicle, and a vehicle. The vehicle includes a chassis, a body coupled to the chassis and configured to support the vehicle support module, a plurality of tractive elements rotatably coupled to the chassis and configured to support the chassis, a prime mover configured to drive one or more of the tractive elements to propel the vehicle, a first actuator selectively engageable with the vehicle support module, and a second actuator configured to reposition the vehicle support module relative to the body.

A vehicle moves through an environment (e.g., a farming, construction, mining, or forestry environment) and performs one or more actions in the environment. A control system associated with the vehicle may include a mode selection module and a transportation determination module. In particular, the control system may employ a machine vision model to identify images captured for each region in the environment. The model identifies viable unloading locations in an unloading zone of the environment, and then navigates the vehicle to one or more unloading locations based on pixels of the image representing terrain features and existing cargo dump piles. Control signals for loading or unloading cargo are determined in alignment with a transportation protocol set by a site manager. A loading or unloading mechanism is then actuated using these control signals to unload cargo in the appropriate location.

A control system deploys a virtual safety bubble for autonomous operation of a construction vehicle in a worksite. The control system obtains a work schedule for the construction vehicle to perform one construction action. The control system identifies one or more objects to be interacted with by the construction vehicle while performing the one construction action. The control system deploys a virtual safety bubble for the construction vehicle based on the one construction action. Breach of the virtual safety bubble triggers remedial actions; however, the virtual safety bubble permits breach by the one or more identified objects during the construction action. The control system detects breach of the virtual safety bubble by the one or more identified objects during the construction action. Responsive to the breach of the virtual safety bubble by the one or more identified objects during the construction action, the control system withholds the remedial actions.
