  • Publication number: 20260319505
    Abstract: Disclosed are autonomous work vehicles and methods for locally confirming the presence of obstacles within a hazard zone extending over an area near and/or adjacent to the autonomous work vehicle. The method may enable the autonomous work vehicle to resume autonomous operation after losing perception of the operating environment. The method may include activating an emergency stop (e-stop) mode after perceptual loss, entering a manual mode upon receiving first operator input, receiving second operator input indicating that no obstacles were found within the hazard zone, clearing a hazard grid after receiving second operator input, and activating an autonomous mode for autonomous operation of the vehicle. The method may include re-activating the e-stop mode and/or manual mode when the vehicle detects an obstacle within the hazard zone during autonomous operation, when too much time elapses between the first and second operator input, or when the clearing the hazard grid fails.

  • Publication number: 20250059726
    Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed to direct an autonomous loader to a dump truck. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving dump truck geolocation data for a dump truck; receiving loader geolocation data for an autonomous loader; raising a bucket on the autonomous loader to a height; directing the autonomous loader toward the dump truck using the loader geolocation data and the dump truck geolocation data so that the bucket is positioned above a body or bed of the dump truck; and rotating the bucket downward to release a load in the bucket into the body or bed of dump truck.
