Patent number: 12754530Abstract: A nuisance condition detection system for a work machine includes an object detection sensor. The object detection sensor detects an object present in a field of view of the object detection sensor. The object detection sensor generates a first information pertaining to the object present in the field of view of the object detection sensor. The nuisance condition detection system also includes a controller. The controller includes one or more memories and one or more processors. The one or more processors receive the first information pertaining to the object from the object detection sensor. The one or more processors analyze the first information to determine if the object detected by the object detection sensor corresponds to a component of the work machine. The one or more processors prevent a generation of an alert if the object corresponds to the component of the work machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 1, 2023Date of Patent: October 6, 2026Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventor: Jacob Maley

Patent number: 12460379Abstract: A collision avoidance system for a work machine includes at least one sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a presence of at least one obstacle in a surrounding area of the work machine. The collision avoidance system also includes a controller communicably coupled with the sensor. The controller is configured to receive the signal indicative of the presence of the obstacle in the surrounding area of the work machine from the sensor. The controller is also configured to determine a position of the obstacle relative to the work machine based on the signal received from the sensor. The controller is further configured to generate a control signal to prevent a movement of the work machine, halt the movement of the work machine, or reduce a velocity of the work machine based on the determination of the position of the obstacle.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2021Date of Patent: November 4, 2025Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventor: Jacob Maley

Publication number: 20230150358Abstract: A collision avoidance system for a work machine includes at least one sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a presence of at least one obstacle in a surrounding area of the work machine, at least one imaging device, a display device, and a controller. The controller receives the signal indicative of the presence of the obstacle and determines a position of the obstacle relative to the work machine based on the signal received from the sensor. The controller generates a first control signal to prevent a movement of the work machine, halt the movement of the work machine, or reduce a velocity of the work machine based on the determination of the position of the obstacle. The controller generates a second control signal for displaying an updated display view that provides a visual indication of the presence of the obstacle in the surrounding area of the work machine.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Jacob Maley, Chen Sun, Jun Zuo, Venkata Siva Sai Manoj Pothugunti

Patent number: 10151830Abstract: A system for detecting objects in a zone proximate to a machine includes a detection sensor, an output device, and a controller. The controller is configured to define an obstruction zone proximate to the machine and within the zone, receive detection signals from the detection sensor, determine if the detection signals indicate that an object exists within the obstruction zone, and determine if the object is indicative of a machine component, if the detection signals indicate that the object exists within the obstruction zone, based on a learned obstruction detection process. The learned obstruction detection process is configured to determine if the object is indicative of a machine component by comparing the detection signals with component-associated detection data. The controller is configured to provide an alert signal to the output device if the first object is not indicative a machine component.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2016Date of Patent: December 11, 2018Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Jarrod Cook, Jacob Maley

Publication number: 20160353049Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a projected path of a machine using image data of the ground engaging members of the machine. One method includes receiving one or more images; displaying on a display device a first image of the one or more images; determining one or more ground engaging members of the machine in the one or more images; determining a current state of each of the one or more ground engaging members using at least information regarding the one or more ground engaging members contained in the one or more images; determining a projected path of the machine based on at least the current state of each of the one or more ground engaging members; and displaying on the display device a graphic corresponding to the projected path of the machine overlaying the first image.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventor: Jacob Maley
