This invention describes a system for heavy construction machinery, like excavators or loaders, that automatically plans how to scoop material. It works by first scanning a pile of material to create a 3D map, then uses that map and the machine's design to figure out the best spot to load from, aiming for maximum material and efficiency. Finally, it plans the exact movements for the machine's arm and bucket to execute the loading operation.
Why it matters: AI for perception and planning, plus 3D sensing, are far more robust now than when this was filed in 2020.
AI gives you a few directions you could take this. Pick one, and we check whether your version is different enough to patent, then write the filing.
