Abstract: A system for monitoring an implement of a work machine is provided. The system may include one or more image sensors mounted on the work machine configured to capture one or more images of a field of view associated with the implement, and an implement controller in electrical communication with the image sensors. The implement controller may be configured to receive the images from the image sensors, identify one or more interactive targets within the images, select one of the interactive targets based on proximity, and align the implement to the selected interactive target.

Abstract: A perception system for a work machine may include a short-range thermal stereo detector and a long-range thermal stereo detector both mounted to the work machine. The long-range thermal stereo detector may face in the same direction as the short-range thermal stereo detector. The perception system may also include a controller associated with the short-range thermal stereo detector and the long-range thermal stereo detector. The controller may be configured to receive information from both the short-range thermal stereo detector and the long-range thermal stereo detector and may also be configured to process the information for displaying on an output device of the work machine or for automatically controlling, based on the information processed, components mechanically associated with the work machine.

Abstract: A drive system for a mobile machine is disclosed. The drive system includes a power source configured to generate mechanical power, and a transmission driven by the power source, a traction device driven by the transmission. The drive system further includes a first input device configured to generate a signal to operate the machine, a second input device configured to receive an operator selection of one of a plurality of transmission modes, and a controller in communication with the first input device and the transmission. The controller is configured to adjust operation of the transmission to control a speed rate of change of the traction device in response to the signal from the first input device and based on the operator-selected one of the plurality of transmission modes.

Abstract: A machine includes a plurality of ground engaging elements and an operator control station supported on a frame. A work tool is pivotably attached to the frame using a lift arm assembly and a tilt linkage. At least one device measures a quantity associated with at least one of the lift arm assembly, the tilt linkage, and the work tool. An electronic controller, in communication with an operator display and the at least one device. The electronic controller is configured to store an operator selected orientation of the work tool, calculate a current orientation of the work tool based on the quantity, and calculate a deviation of the current orientation from the operator selected orientation. A visual representation of the deviation is displayed on the operator display.
