Abstract: An earth moving vehicle (EMV) autonomously performs an earth moving operation within a dig site. If the EMV determines that a state of the EMV or the dig site triggers a triggering condition associated with a pause in the autonomous behavior of the EMV, the EMV determines a risk associated with the state or triggering condition. If the risk is greater than a first threshold, the EMV continues the autonomous performance and notifies a remote operator that the triggering condition was triggered. If the risk is greater than the first threshold risk but less than a second threshold risk, the EMV is configured to operate in a default state before continuing and notifying the remote operator. If the risk is greater than the second threshold risk, the EMV notifies the remote operator of the state pauses the performance until feedback is received from the remote operator.

Abstract: An autonomous earth moving system can determine a desired state for a portion of the EMV including at least one control surface. Then the EMV selects a set of control signals for moving the portion of the EMV from the current state to the desired state using a machine learning model trained to generate control signals for moving the portion of the EMV to the desired state based on the current state. After the EMV executes the selected set of control signals, the system measures an updated state of the portion of the EMV. In some cases, this updated state of the EMV is used to iteratively update the machine learning model using an online learning process.

Abstract: When an EMV performs an action comprising moving a tool of the EMV through soil or other material, the EMV can measure a current speed of the tool through the material and a current kinematic pressure exerted on the tool by the material. Using the measured current speed and kinematic pressure, the EMV system can use a machine learned model to determine one or more soil parameters of the material. The EMV can then make decisions based on the soil parameters, such as by selecting a tool speed for the EMV based on the determined soil parameters.

Abstract: This description provides an autonomous or semi-autonomous excavation vehicle that is capable of navigating through a dig site and carrying out an excavation routine using a system of sensors physically mounted to the excavation vehicle. The sensors collects any one or more of spatial, imaging, measurement, and location data representing the status of the excavation vehicle and its surrounding environment. Based on the collected data, the excavation vehicle executes instructions to carry out an excavation routine. The excavation vehicle is also able to carry out numerous other tasks, such as checking the volume of excavated earth in an excavation tool, and helping prepare a digital terrain model of the site as part of a process for creating the excavation routine.

Abstract: An autonomous or semi-autonomous excavation vehicle is capable of determining a route between a start point and an end point in a site and navigating over the route. Sensors mounted on the excavation vehicle collect any or more of spatial, imaging, measurement, and location data to detect an obstacle between two locations within the site. Based on the collected data and identified obstacles, the excavation vehicle generates unobstructed routes circumventing the obstacles, obstructed routes traveling through the obstacles, and instructions for removing certain modifiable obstacles. The excavation vehicle determines and selects the shortest route of the unobstructed and obstructed route and navigates over the selected path to move within the site.

Abstract: A pile plan map indicating a plurality of locations in a geographic area at which piles are to be installed is accessed. A first set of locations is identified from the plurality of locations and a first set of piles to be driven into the ground at the first set of locations using the pile plan map is identified. An order for driving the first set of piles into the ground is identified and a pile type for each of the first set of piles is identified. Basket assembly instructions are generated for assembling the first set of piles into a basket based on the identified order and the identified pile types. The first set of piles are assembled autonomously or manually into the basket based on the generated basket assembly instructions.

Abstract: An autonomous pile driving system comprises an arm of an autonomous offroad vehicle (AOV) configured to hold and drive a pile, a chute configured to stabilize the pile as the pile is being driven. The autonomous pile driving system further comprises a controller configured to identify a location in the geographic area where a pile is to be driven (e.g., installed) and position the chute at the location. The controller aligns the pile secured by the AOV with an opening of the chute and inserts the pile into the chute by actuating an arm (or other suitable component) of the AOV securing the pile.

Abstract: An autonomous off-road vehicle (AOV) accesses a pile plan map indicating a plurality of locations within a geographic area at which piles are to be installed. The AOV generates an obstacle map indicating locations of obstacles within the geographic area. The AOV autonomously navigates to a first location of the plurality of locations using the pile plan map. In response to driving a pile into the ground at the first location, the AOV modifies the obstacle map to include a representation of the pile at the first location. The AOV autonomously navigates to a second location of the plurality of locations using the pile plan map. In response to driving a pile into ground at the second location, the AOV modifies the obstacle map that includes the representation of the pile at the first location to further include a representation of the pile at the second location.
