Grabber arm control system

A grabber assembly for a refuse vehicle, comprising:

• a plurality of actuators;
• a sensor configured to generate sensor data indicative of a position of a refuse container;
• a user interface;
• and
• a control system communicably coupled to the sensor and the user interface, the control system configured to:
• determine, based on the sensor data, an operation of the grabber assembly corresponding to at least one of the refuse container or an obstacle proximate to the refuse container;
• present, via the user interface, an indicator of the operation comprising a request for an operator acknowledgement of the operation;
• receive the operator acknowledgement of the operation;
• and
• operate, responsive to receiving the operator acknowledgement, the plurality of actuators of the grabber assembly to complete the operation.

A method for refuse collection by a refuse vehicle comprising a grabber assembly, the method comprising:

• determining, by a control system of the refuse vehicle and based on sensor data generated by a sensor coupled to at least one of the refuse vehicle or the grabber assembly, an operation of the grabber assembly corresponding to at least one of a refuse container or an obstacle proximate to the refuse container;
• presenting, by the control system and via a user interface of the refuse vehicle, an indicator of the operation comprising a request for an operator acknowledgement of the operation;
• receiving, by the control system, the operator acknowledgement of the operation;
• and
• operating, by the control system and responsive to receiving the operator acknowledgement, an actuator of the grabber assembly to complete the operation.
