System and method of automated clean out of carryback in surface haulage
11498785 · 2022-11-15 · ·

A system for removing carryback material from within a dump body of a haul truck includes a clean out implement. A controller is configured to determine the pose of the dump body, determine the pose of the clean out implement, determine a path of the clean out implement to remove carryback material from the interior surface of the dump body based upon a map of the carryback material, the pose of the dump body, and the pose of the clean out implement, and generate movement command signals to move the clean out implement along the path to perform a clean out operation on the interior surface of the dump body.

A hydrogen filling apparatus includes an initial pressure acquisition unit that acquires an initial pressure in a hydrogen tank, a history acquisition unit that acquires a filling history of a requesting vehicle, a determination unit that determines, based on the filling history, whether or not the hydrogen tank will overheat if the hydrogen tank is filled with hydrogen at a filling speed corresponding to the initial pressure, and a filling control unit that fills the hydrogen tank with hydrogen at a filling speed lower than the filling speed corresponding to the initial pressure, when it is determined that the hydrogen tank will overheat.

User assisting robot for shopping applications

A robot system includes a holding compartment configured to transport one or more items and an electronic control unit having a processor and a non-transitory computer readable memory including a machine-readable instruction set. The robot system further includes a camera for capturing image data of an environment of the holding compartment and a robotic arm each communicatively coupled to the electronic control unit. The machine-readable instruction set causes the processor to receive image data of the environment of the holding compartment from the camera, determine a set of handling instructions for an item collected by the robotic arm, determine a location within the holding compartment for placing the item collected by the robotic arm based on the image data of the environment of the holding compartment and the set of handling instructions, and manipulate the robotic arm to place the item within the holding compartment at the determined location.

TRUCK PROCESS MANAGEMENT TOOL FOR TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
20220155768 · 2022-05-19 · ·

A process management tool for managing transport of a material between a first location and a second location is disclosed. The process management tool includes a communication device configured to receive data messages, a display device, an input device configured to receive user inputs, and a processor in communication with the communication device, the display device, and the input device. The processor is configured to generate a graphical user interface on the display device. The graphical user interface includes a map indicative of a position of each of one or more transport vehicles with respect to the first location and the second location. The graphical user interface further includes a first graphical object indicative of a spacing between a first transport vehicle and a second transport vehicle of the one or more transport vehicles and a second graphical object indicative of a process parameter associated with the material.
