摘要： A control device outputs an operation signal of a work equipment and a swing body for moving a work equipment to a loading point when receiving a loading command signal. The control device does not output a dumping operation signal for causing the bucket to dump earth in a case where an azimuth direction in which the swing body faces is within a first region from a starting point azimuth direction to a predetermined reference azimuth direction, the starting point azimuth direction being an azimuth direction in which the swing body faces when the loading command signal is received. The control device outputs the dumping operation signal in a case where the azimuth direction is within a second region from the reference azimuth direction to an end point azimuth direction in which the swing body faces when the work equipment is positioned at the loading point.

摘要： Embodiments are directed to conveyor systems and methods for controlling induction of items within the conveyor systems. In one scenario, a conveyor control system implements a hardware sensor in a conveyor system to generate sensor readings regarding an operational status of a first zone in an operational environment, where the first zone is an area where orders are fulfilled. The conveyor control system receives sensor data from the hardware sensor of the conveyor system. The sensor data includes feedback information for controlling the conveyor system. The conveyor control system then evaluates the received sensor data to determine which conveyable items are currently in the first zone and, based on the evaluation, induces the conveyable items onto the conveyor for the first zone.

摘要： A system includes a work vehicle, user interface, and controller. The work vehicle includes a frame, boom, implement, perception sensor, position sensor, and ground speed sensor. The perception sensor senses an approaching environment. The position sensor senses a position of the boom or implement. The user interface includes controls and indicators. The controller is coupled to the controls, indicators, perception sensor, position sensor, and ground speed sensor. The controller receives a command to move the work vehicle, drives the work vehicle, determines a distance to the container, determines the ground speed, determines the position of the boom or the implement, receives a command to raise the boom, raises the boom during travel, determines whether the distal end will reach a threshold height before the work vehicle reaches the container, and activates the indicators if the distal end will not reach the threshold height in time.

摘要： A method for controlling a robotic item handler is described. The method includes obtaining first point cloud data related to a first three-dimensional (3D) image and second point cloud data related to a second 3D image, captured by a first sensor device and a second sensor device respectively. Further, the method can include transforming the first point cloud data and the second point cloud data to combined point cloud data that is used as an input to a convolutional neural network, to construct a machine learning model. The machine learning model can output a decision classification indicative of a first probability associated with a first operating mode and a second probability associated with a second operating mode. Furthermore, the method can include operating the robotic item handler according to the first operating mode or the second operating mode based on a comparison of the first probability and the second probability.
