Earth-moving machine sensing and control system

A work machine system comprising:

• an earth scraper machine comprising:
• a blade that is movable to adjust a dig depth into a terrain during a dig cycle;
• a container to receive earth material from the blade;
• a fill sensor to output fill signals indicative of fill states of the container;
• a consumption sensor to output a consumption signal indicative of consumption of a resource;
• and
• a control system having a processor processing logic to:
• receive a cost factor for the resource;
• determine a target fill level of the earth material within the container based on the cost factor, the consumption signal and the fill signals;
• and
• generate a machine control signal based on the target fill level to control an actuator of the earth scraper machine.

A computer-implemented method processed by a processor, the method comprising:

• processing cost factor logic to obtain a cost factor for a resource;
• processing cost variable logic to obtain a consumption of the resource based on a consumption signal from a consumption sensor;
• processing fill measurement logic to obtain a fill level state for a container of an earth-moving work machine based on a fill signal from a fill sensor;
• processing fill target logic to determine a target fill level of the resource within the container based on the cost factor, changes in the consumption of the resource and corresponding changes in the fill level state;
• and
• processing control logic to generate a machine control signal based on the target fill level to control an actuator of the earth-moving work machine.
