  • Patent number: 11808010
    Abstract: A method for operating an implement assembly of a machine at a worksite is disclosed. The implement assembly is adapted to receive a load from a location, haul the load, and dump the load at a dump location. The method includes detecting, by a controller, a movement of the machine towards the location. Further, the method includes moving, by the controller, the implement assembly from a first state to a second state if at least one parameter associated with the machine relative to the location falls below a corresponding parameter threshold during the movement of the machine towards the location.

  • Patent number: 11702817
    Abstract: A method for changing an orientation of a machine at a worksite includes controlling, by a controller, a movement of the machine from a first position to a second position along a first route; controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the second position to a third position along a second route; and controlling, by the controller, a movement of the machine from the third position towards the first position along a third route, Each of the first route, the second route, and the third route define respective apexes and combinedly define a region therebetween. One or more of the apexes are directed inwards into the region.

  • Publication number: 20210010234
    Abstract: A method for operating an underground loader is disclosed. The method includes detecting, by a controller, a first position of the underground loader within a worksite. The method also includes determining, by the controller, a location of a dumping pit within the worksite. Further, the method includes determining, by the controller, a route for the underground loader to tram from the first position to the location of the dumping pit. Furthermore, the method includes controlling, by the controller, a movement of the underground loader along the route up to the location of the dumping pit. The method also includes moving, by the controller, an implement assembly of the underground loader based on a profile of a terrain along the route and a height of an embankment defined at an edge of the dumping pit.
