Hardware component configuration for autonomous control of powered earth-moving vehicles
[0061] Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of powered earth-moving vehicles (e.g., construction and/or mining vehicles), including to automatically determine and control movement around a site. For example, the systems/techniques may determine and implement autonomous operations of earth-moving vehicles by determining current location and positioning of an earth-moving vehicle on the site, determining a command for the earth-moving vehicle, and causing the earth-moving vehicle to perform the command - the autonomous operations may in some situations further include obtaining and integrating data from sensors of multiple types on the earth moving vehicle, implementing coordinated actions of multiple earth-moving vehicles of one or more types, etc. Vehicle Control Unit System Routine Yes Receive instructions or information 705 710 '' No Control automated operation of excavator? Yes 7501 Receives current position information from the position sensors and location information from the location sensors 760 Determine one or more of excavator site location, real-time kinematic positioning, cabin and/or track heading, vehicle component positioning, etc. from position information and location information Compute a plurality of hydraulic impulses based on the determined one or more of excavator site location, real-time kinematic positioning, cabin and/or track heading, vehicle component positioning 780\ Prepare and send plurality of hydraulic impulses Perform other indicated operations as appropriate Ys795 No 799 Ye Continue?
