    Abstract: A method of detecting steering wheel angle instability in an auto-guided vehicle includes measuring a steering wheel angle at a plurality of time instances within a pre-determined time window to obtain an array of values of the steering wheel angle, performing a frequency analysis of the array of values of the steering wheel angle to obtain a frequency spectrum of the steering wheel angle, comparing the frequency spectrum of the steering wheel angle to a pre-defined threshold frequency spectrum to determine whether a magnitude of the frequency spectrum of the steering wheel angle at any frequency exceeds a magnitude of the threshold frequency spectrum, and upon determining that a magnitude of the frequency spectrum of the steering wheel angle at one or more frequencies exceeds a magnitude of the pre-defined threshold frequency spectrum, determining that a steering wheel angle instability is present.

    Abstract: Various embodiments provide novel tools and techniques for position and/or motion tracking, including without limitation solutions that can be used for excavation and similar applications. In a particular aspect of some embodiments, a communication device with a camera may be provided to track the position and motion of a stick of an excavator or reference features located on a stick of an excavator. A location of a bucket of an excavator may then be calculated relative to the stick or reference features on the stick of the excavator. Thus, an operator of the excavator can use the communication device to effectively and efficiently track the location of the excavator bucket without the need for a second person to provide instructions about the location of the bucket.

    Abstract: Embodiments describe systems and methods for tracking produce with an electronic device. A method includes, during each of a plurality of instances of time, receiving one or more clam codes, receiving a tray code, associating the one or more claim codes with the tray code, receiving a palette code, associating the palette code with the tray code, and storing the one or more clam codes, tray codes, and the palette code in a database. After associating the one or more clam codes with the tray code and the palette code with the tray code, the method includes receiving a request to identify the tray code or the palette code associated with a specific clam code, wherein the specific clam code is included in the one or more clam codes; and identifying the tray code or the palette code associated with the specific clam code.

    Abstract: A system for providing manual guidance of a vehicle includes a first inertial measurement unit (IMU) attached to a steering wheel, a second IMU attached to a fixed part of the vehicle, a global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receiver, a data storage device for storing a pre-planned path, and a feedback module. The feedback module is configured to determine a current angle of the steering wheel, determine a deviation of the current position of the vehicle from the pre-planned path, determine a current heading of the vehicle, determine a current velocity of the vehicle, and determine a desired angle of the steering wheel relative to the vehicle. The system further includes a user interface configured to provide a visual indication of the desired angle of the steering wheel or a deviation of the current angle of the steering wheel from the desired angle of the steering wheel.

    Abstract: A method for displaying images using an AR device. GNSS position data is received based on wireless signals received from a GNSS satellite. Based on the GNSS position data, a first GNSS point within a geospatial frame is determined within a first time range and a second GNSS point within the geospatial frame is determined within a second time range. Based on camera POS data, a first AR point within an AR frame is determined within the first time range and a second AR point within the AR frame is determined within the second time range. One of the frames is shifted such that the second GNSS point is aligned with the second AR point. An angle formed by the GNSS points and the AR points is calculated. One of the frames is rotated by the angle.

    Abstract: A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver including an antenna module configured to removably attach to a receiver module. The antenna module includes an antenna configured to receive wireless signals transmitted by a GNSS satellite. The antenna is coupled to a wired connection. The antenna module also includes an antenna-side radio that is coupled to the wired connection. The antenna-side radio is configured to perform actions including sending, via the wired connection, an identifying signal to a receiver-side radio. The identifying signal includes identification information corresponding to the antenna. The receiver module includes the receiver-side radio coupled to the wired connection. The receiver-side radio is configured to perform operations including receiving, via the wired connection, the identifying signal from the antenna-side radio. The receiver module also includes a radio frequency (RF) front end coupled to the wired connection.
