  • Publication number: 20240359911
    Abstract: A system for detecting a waste receptacle includes a collection assembly and a processor. The collection assembly includes a plurality of interface members configured to engage the waste receptacle and a camera configured to obtain image data associated with a target area proximate the interface members. the processor is configured to generate, based on the image data, a pose candidate located within the target area. The processor is also configured to verify if the pose candidate matches a template representation corresponding to the waste receptacle. Responsive to the pose candidate matching the template representation, the processor is also configured to determine a location of the waste receptacle. The processor is also configured to operate at least one of a lift arm actuator or an articulation actuator of a lift assembly to move the interface members based on the location of the waste receptacle.

  • Publication number: 20240359908
    Abstract: An intermediate container system for detecting a waste receptacle includes an intermediate container and a processor. The intermediate container includes a container, an extension arm coupled to the container, a manipulator coupled to a distal end of the extension arm, and a camera configured to obtain image data associated with a target area proximate the intermediate container. The processor is configured to generate, based on the image data, a pose candidate located within the target area. The processor is also configured to verify if the pose candidate matches a template representation corresponding to the waste receptacle. Responsive to the pose candidate matching the template representation, the processor is also configured to determine a location of the waste receptacle. The processor is also configured to operate at least one of the extension arm or the manipulator to move the manipulator based on the location of the waste receptacle.

  • Publication number: 20240362832
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle can include a camera and one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits can detect a movement of the refuse vehicle, receive image data that includes a waste receptacle, determine a position of the waste receptacle relative to the refuse vehicle based on the image data, and generate a user interface that includes a visual indication of the position of the waste receptacle relative to the refuse vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230356938
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a body, and a hydraulic system. The body is coupled with the chassis and includes a first frame rail and a second frame rail. The hydraulic system includes a pump, a hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic line. The pump is configured to pressurize a fluid. The hydraulic cylinder is configured to receive the fluid and extend or retract. The hydraulic line is configured to fluidly couple with an outlet of the pump and an inlet of the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic line is configured to extend laterally through the first frame rail by fluidly coupling with a connector that extends through an opening in the first frame rail. A portion of the hydraulic line extends in a longitudinal direction between the first frame rail and the second frame rail from the connector to the hydraulic cylinder.

  • Publication number: 20230356940
    Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes a chassis and a body supported by the chassis. The body defines a collection chamber that is configured to store refuse therein. The body includes a bottom wall and a sub-frame assembly. The sub-frame assembly includes a pair of frame rails and a plurality of cross-members. The pair of frame rails is coupled to the bottom wall and extending in a longitudinal direction along the bottom wall. The plurality of cross-members is engaged with the bottom wall and extend in a lateral direction that is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Each of the plurality of cross-members extends through the pair of frame rails. The plurality of cross-members each has a uniform cross-sectional shape along their entire length.
