Perception Based Loading
First Claim
1. A system for assisted positioning of a haul machine at a destination position for receiving materials from a loading machine, the system comprising:
- at least one perception device included with the haul machine, configured to obtain and provide information reflecting a location or orientation of a first fiducial attached to the loading machine;
a communication interface located in the haul machine for conveying positioning guidance to a human operator of the haul machine; and
a processor configured to;
determine a location or position of the first fiducial based on the information provided by the perception device,determine the destination position based on the determined location or position of the first fiducial, andissue guidance via the communication interface indicating an adjustment in steering angle based on the determined destination position.
