Abstract
A self-propelled cart which receives control signals from a remote electronic device. In some embodiments, the dumper includes a top portion and a lower portion, wherein the top portion and the bottom portion are rotatably coupled by a rotating member such that the top portion rotates independent of the base. In some embodiments, the top portion may rotate 360° about a vertical axis of the base. In one implementation, the dumper does not have a cab or onboard control station.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- self-propelled cart comprising:
- a chassis;
- a body pivotally coupled to the chassis and configured to contain a volume of material;
- an actuator configured to cause the body to rotate 360° relative to the chassis in a direction;
- a tractive element coupled to the chassis;
- a motor configured to drive the tractive element to propel the self-propelled cart;
- and
- a controller operatively coupled to the motor and the actuator;
- and
- a user device, wherein the user device is configured to transmit a control signal to the controller in response receiving instructions from an operator interface, and wherein the controller is configured to activate at least one of the actuator or the motor in response to receiving the control signal.
