Abstract: A control system for a machine having a linkage, a work implement mounted on the linkage, and at least one actuator is provided. The actuator is connected to the linkage and controlled using the control system to move the linkage and the work implement. The control system includes sensors that are configured to sense a current load and position of the work implement. Upon sensing the current load and position of the work implement, a controller provided in the control system can reject or accept a given kick-out command issued from one or more user controls of the control system based on various criteria associated with the sensed load and position of the work implement.

Abstract: A device may determine, based on image data of an environment that includes a ground surface, depth information indicating distances from a vehicle to different areas of the ground surface. The device may generate, based on the depth information, an overlay to indicate a range of distances from the vehicle. The range of distances may be associated with an area. The device may provide, for display, a video feed including the image data with the overlay on the ground surface. The overlay may provide the perception of depth, with respect to the area, during an operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a sensor assembly to a pair of rotatable members coupled by an articulation joint includes a sensor mounting plate. The sensor mounting plate is coupled to a first rotatable member and supports at least one sensor element thereon such that the at least one sensor element is in alignment with an axis of the articulation joint. The mounting system also includes a target mounting plate that is disposed in a spaced-apart manner from the sensor mounting plate. The target mounting plate has a target mounting portion for supporting the target element thereon, and a support arm extending from the target mounting portion. Further, the mounting system also includes a post having a first end configured to couple with the second rotatable member and a second end that is configured to adjustably support the support arm of the target mounting plate via an adjustment block.
