Abstract: A front perception module is utilized in conjunction with a front ballast system, which is included in a work vehicle and which has a laterally-extending hanger bracket supporting a number of removable ballast weights. In various embodiments, the front perception module includes an environmental depth perception (EDP) sensor system including a first EDP device having a field of view (FOV) encompassing an environmental region forward of the work vehicle, a mounting base attached to the work vehicle, and a front module housing containing the EDP sensor system and joined to the work vehicle through the mounting base. The front module housing is positioned over and vertically spaced from the laterally-extending hanger bracket in a manner enabling positioning of the removable ballast weights beneath the front module housing.

Abstract: A work vehicle that operates on a surface comprising an implement and a cab. The cab comprises a left side portion, a right side portion, a floor coupled to the left side portion forming a left floor edge and coupled to the right side portion forming a right floor edge, and a roof coupled to the left side portion forming a left roof edge and coupled to the right side portion forming a right roof edge. The cab further comprises a frame positioned above the floor in a central portion of the front of the cab. A first support extends from the central portion towards the left floor edge. A second support extends from the central portion towards the right floor edge. A third support extends from the central portion towards the left roof edge. A fourth support extends from the central portion towards the right roof edge.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to house a vehicle, including a first container leg disposed on a first corner of a first container, a second container leg disposed on a second corner of the first container, a third container leg disposed on a third corner of the first container, a fourth container leg disposed on a fourth corner of the first container, at least one of the first, second, third, and fourth container legs each having an upper portion with a ramped receiving slot and a lower portion with a first ramped foot, and wherein the ramped receiving slot is to receive a protrusion associated with a second ramped foot of a second container different from the first container.

Abstract: A mobile work machine includes an operator compartment having an operator interface mechanism configured to receive operator input, a control system configured to generate a control signal to control the mobile work machine in an unmanned operation mode, a machine state detection system configured to detect a machine state of the mobile work machine in the unmanned operation mode, and a visualization system configured to control a visual indicator mechanism in the operator compartment to generate a visual indication of the detected machine state.

Abstract: A rear perception module is utilized in conjunction with a work vehicle having a work vehicle cabin and a cabin roof. In an embodiment, the rear perception module includes an environmental depth perception (EDP) sensor system including a first EDP device having a field of view encompassing an environmental region to a rear of the work vehicle, a rear module housing mounted to an upper trailing edge portion of the cabin roof, and vents formed in exterior walls of the rear module housing to facilitate airflow through the rear module housing along a cooling airflow path. A heat-generating electronic component is electrically coupled to the first EDP device and positioned in or adjacent the cooling airflow path such that excess heat generated by the heat-generating electronic component is dissipated by convective transfer to airflow conducted along the cooling airflow path during operation of the rear perception module.
