Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for implementing autonomous control of powered earth-moving vehicles (e.g., construction and/or mining vehicles), including to automatically determine and control movement around a site. For example, the systems/techniques may determine and implement autonomous operations of earth-moving vehicles by determining current location and positioning of an earth-moving vehicle on the site, determining a command for the earth-moving vehicle, and causing the earth-moving vehicle to perform the command—the autonomous operations may in some situations further include obtaining and integrating data from sensors of multiple types on the earth-moving vehicle, implementing coordinated actions of multiple earth-moving vehicles of one or more types, etc.
