Industrial machine remote operation systems, and associated devices and methods

A system for improving an operator's operating environment awareness while remotely operating an industrial machine having a work tool, the system comprising:

• a remote operating system including a display screen;
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• display, via the display screen, a video feed from a camera of the industrial machine,
• receive, at a first time and via the remote operating system, first telematics data associated with remote operation of the industrial machine;
• generate, based at least partially on the first telematics data, an industrial machine control interface comprising a work tool indicator having a leading edge indicator, a right ground reference indicator, and a left ground reference indicator,
• wherein the work tool indicator is associated with (i) a height of the work tool and at least one of:
• (ii) a pitch angle of the work tool and a pitch direction of the work tool, or (iii) a roll angle of the work tool and a roll direction of the work tool;
• display the industrial machine control interface comprising the work tool indicator on the display screen;
• receive, at a second time and via the remote operating system, second telematics data associated with remote operation of the industrial machine, wherein the second telematics data is indicative of:
• (i) a change in the height of the work tool and at least one of:
• (ii) a change in the pitch angle of the work tool and the pitch direction of the work tool, or (iii) a change in the roll angle of the work tool and the roll direction of the work tool;
• and
• in response to determining, using the at least one of:
• (ii) the change in the pitch angle of the work tool and the pitch direction of the work tool, or (iii) the change in the roll angle of the work tool and the roll direction of the work tool, that the work tool is positioned at a pitch threshold, a roll threshold, or both,
• reposition, using the second telematics data, the leading edge indicator on the display screen;
• and
• change a visual characteristic of the repositioned leading edge indicator, the right ground reference indicator, or the left ground reference indicator on the display screen.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• displaying, via a display screen of a remote operating system, a video feed from a camera of an industrial machine having a work tool;
• receiving, at a first time and via the remote operating system, first telematics data associated with remote operation of the industrial machine;
• generating, based at least partially on the first telematics data, an industrial machine control interface comprising a work tool indicator having a leading edge indicator, a right ground reference indicator, and a left ground reference indicator,
• wherein the work tool indicator is associated with (i) a height of the work tool and at least one of:
• (ii) a pitch angle of the work tool and a pitch direction of the work tool, or (iii) a roll angle of the work tool and a roll direction of the work tool;
• displaying the industrial machine control interface comprising the work tool indicator on the display screen;
• receiving, at a second time and via the remote operating system, second telematics data associated with remote operation of the industrial machine,
• wherein the second telematics data is indicative of:
• (i) a change in the height of the work tool and at least one of:
• (ii) a change in the pitch angle of the work tool and the pitch direction of the work tool, or (iii) a change in the roll angle of the work tool and the roll direction of the work tool;
• and
• in response to determining, using the at least one of:
• (ii) the change in the pitch angle of the work tool and the pitch direction of the work tool, or (iii) the change in the roll angle of the work tool and the roll direction of the work tool, that the work tool is positioned at a pitch threshold, a roll threshold, or both,
• repositioning, using the second telematics data, the leading edge indicator on the display screen;
• and
• changing a visual characteristic of the repositioned leading edge indicator, the right ground reference indicator, or the left ground reference indicator on the display screen.
