    Abstract: An excavator (100) comprises a machine chassis (102), boom (108), stick (110), and implement (114). The boom, stick, and implement collectively define a variable implement angle Theta Bucket (t) indicative of a current position of the implement relative to horizontal as a function of time t. The implement comprises teeth extending at a tooth height h from an internal leading edge J_l to an external leading edge J_E. The teeth are spaced along J_l and define an active raking ratio r. Controllers are programmed to execute an implement teeth grading offset determination process that comprises determining a variable implement offset angle Theta Delta (t) at least partially based on a difference between an original target design angle Theta Tgt (t) and the variable implement angle Theta Bucket (t), determining an implement offset 10 based on h, r, and Theta Delta (t), and determining a new target design elevation Elv_(Tgt,New) (t) based on IO and an original target design elevation Elv_(Tgt,Orig) (t).

    Abstract: Yaw and center-of-rotation of a platform are determined using a single Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) device and an inertial measurement unit (IMU). A measurement center of the GNSS device is disposed on the platform away from the center-of-rotation and arranged in a known spatial relationship with the center-of- rotation. The platform is rotated about the center-of-rotation between a first orientation and a second orientation (602). The IMU is used to determine a change in pitch, roll, and yaw of the platform between the first orientation and the second orientation (604). The GNSS device is used to determine a change in position of the measurement center of the GNSS device between the first orientation and the second orientation (606). The yaw of the platform is determined at the second orientation and the position of the center-of-rotation of the platform is determined in a global coordinate frame (608).

    Abstract: An excavator includes a chassis, an implement, control architecture, and an assembly to swing with, or relative to, the chassis and including a boom, stick to curl relative to the boom, and coupling between the implement and stick. The implement rotates about an axis R such that a leading edge LE defines a heading Î. The control architecture comprises sensors, actuators, and controllers to utilize sensor signals to generate a LE position relative to a reference based on reference data and map information, utilize sensor implement edge signals and the excavator position relative to the reference and map information to generate a nearest implement edge (NIE) signal indicative of a LE NIE position relative to the reference, and utilize the actuators for divertive implement rotation about R to adjust Î to account for divertive rotation away from an actual or projected overlap of the NIE and reference.

    Abstract: A three dimensional machine scanning arrangement for a machine (16) traveling over a worksite includes a pair of scanners (12, 14) that are mounted on the machine. Each scanner measures distances to a number of points on the ground at the worksite. One of the scanner faces rearward and the other of the scanner faces forward. A control is responsive to the pair of scanner. The control determines the contour of the worksite. A display, mounted on the machine,' is responsive to the control for displaying the contour of the worksite.
