Autonomous soil compactor front radar

A method of mounting a radar sensor assembly to an autonomous soil compactor machine, the method comprising:

• providing a sensor bracket for holding a radar sensor, wherein the sensor bracket is configured to be mounted to a machine frame of the soil compacting machine for both a blade and a non-blade soil compactor machine configuration, the sensor bracket including a sensor holding portion and a removable angled bracket;
• and
• if the machine includes a blade, attaching the removable angled bracket to a lower surface of the sensor holding portion and mounting the angled bracket to a blade cylinder mount of the soil compactor machine;
• and
• if the machine does not have a blade, attaching the sensor holding portion directly to a front bumper of the soil compactor machine using bolts.
