Abstract
Systems and methods are discussed to direct an autonomous loader to a dump truck. In some embodiments, a method may include receiving dump truck geolocation data for a dump truck; receiving loader geolocation data for an autonomous loader; raising a bucket on the autonomous loader to a height; directing the autonomous loader toward the dump truck using the loader geolocation data and the dump truck geolocation data so that the bucket is positioned above a body or bed of the dump truck; and rotating the bucket downward to release a load in the bucket into the body or bed of dump truck.
