    Abstract: A autonomous off-road vehicle (AOV) accesses a pile plan map indicating a plurality of locations in a geographic area at which piles are to be installed. The AOV selects a first location and a second location from the plurality of locations using the pile plan map. The AOV autonomously navigates to the first location. The AOV autonomously loads a first pile onto a driving tool of the AOV. The AOV autonomously drives the first pile into the ground at the first location using the driving tool. The AOV autonomously navigates to the second location. the AOV autonomously loads a second pile onto the driving tool. And the AOV autonomously drives the second pile into the ground at the second location using the driving tool.

    Abstract: An autonomous off-road vehicle (AOV) autonomously performs a pile driving operation by driving a pile into the ground at a location identified by a pile plan map. The AOV detects one or more attributes of the pile using one or more sensors during or after the pile driving operation. The AOV determines whether the one or more attributes of the pile exceed respective tolerance thresholds. The AOV performs a quality control action in response to determining that the one or more attributes of the pile exceed the respective tolerance thresholds. The one or more attributes include one or more of a location and an orientation of the pile, and the quality control action is performed in response to determining that the location or the orientation of the pile exceeds the respective tolerance threshold.

    Abstract: A network system and method therein for enabling management of a mass excavation project is described. The method comprise obtaining a first information indicating that the transporting asset has been loaded with excavated material; providing a load receipt based on the obtained first information, whereby the load receipt is associated with a load destination site for depositing the excavated material; obtaining a second information indicating that the transporting asset has off-loaded the excavated material at the load destination site and the weight of the excavated material; and determining a remaining material weight receiving capacity of the load destination site based on the obtained weight of the excavated material and the maximum material weight receiving capacity of the load destination site.

    Abstract: A method of area coverage planning for an autonomous vehicle includes, at a computer system, receiving information of a boundary of a work area, and laying a plurality of tracks within the boundary of the work area. The plurality of tracks is spaced apart from each other by a spacing. Laying the plurality of tracks includes, based on the information of the boundary of the work area, performing a multivariate optimization to: (i) determine an optimal direction of the plurality of tracks, and (ii) an optimal offset for a first track from the boundary, so as to minimize a total distance of the plurality of tracks. The method further includes generating a trajectory that is traversable by the autonomous vehicle to traverse the plurality of tracks.

    Abstract: Embodiments describe a method for moisturizing soil at an open construction site. The method includes determining current site characteristics of the open construction site; storing the current site characteristics in memory; determining a target volume of water for achieving a target soil moisture level based on the current site characteristics of the open construction site; calculating a target water application rate to achieve the target soil moisture level across the open construction site; determining a planned path across the open construction site; and guiding a water truck along the planned path while dispensing the target volume of water at the target application rate to achieve the target moisture level in the soil at the open construction site.

    Abstract: Provided is a remote operation device capable of remotely operating efficiently and safely a work machine that is operated from a remote location, even when a communication delay occurs. The remote operation device includes a communication control section 222 that receives a camera video image of a work site captured by a vehicle-mounted camera 91 and vehicle body information of the work machine (hydraulic shovel) 1, a predicted trajectory computing section 220 that computes a predicted trajectory of the work machine (hydraulic shovel) 1 from the vehicle body information and outputs predicted trajectory data to be displayed as a video image on a display device 202, and a display control section 221 that causes the display device 202 to display the camera video image and the video image of the predicted trajectory on the same screen (simultaneously).
