Remote Control and Automation System for Loaders

A remote control and automation system for loaders, based on multi-sensor fusion perception, high-precision autonomous positioning, and augmented reality (AR)-assisted decision-making, is designed for discrete material handling scenarios such as port cabin clearance, stack reorganization, and loading. It achieves “human–machine separation, remote operation, and assisted automation,” significantly enhancing operational safety and precision.

Core System Architecture
Environmental Perception and Localization System
LiDAR: Performs real-time 3D imaging and scanning of cargo contours and stockpile shapes.
Visual system: multiple high-definition cameras, enabling container truck recognition and positioning of the grab and the cargo compartment.
Blind Spot Monitoring: 360° panoramic surveillance, with real-time detection of pedestrians and obstacles.
Remote Control and Assistance System
AR-assisted operation interface: augmented reality depth-of-field cues that address the challenge of 2D screen‑space perception.
Multi-mode control terminal: supports remote manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic operating modes.

Intelligent Operation Control System
Automated arm control: achieving highly repeatable, high-precision motion automation.
Autonomous Path Planning: Supports path memory and optimization for typical operations such as cabin clearance, pallet re‑stacking, and loading.
Safety and Early Warning System
Personnel Collision Warning: Real-time monitoring of personnel activity within the operational radius.
Equipment condition monitoring: Real-time upload of key parameters such as vibration, temperature, and oil pressure.

Key Features
Support for multi-scenario operations
The entire Procedure, including cabin clearance, stacking, and loading, is performed remotely or automatically.
AR-assisted remote operation
Augmented reality overlays depth of field and task guidance, reducing operational complexity.

Autonomous Recognition and Localization
