A power machine can include a frame, a lift arm, and one or more electrical devices for control of one or more work elements. An electrical tilt actuator can be secured to the lift arm to change an attitude of an implement carrier, an electrical lift actuator can be secured to the frame to raise and lower a lift arm, an electrical drive motor can be mounted to a track frame to move a track, or a battery assembly and electrical control module can be secured to the frame, including rearward of an operator station.

Electrically powered power machine

A control system for remotely controlling a power machine is provided. The remote control system can include a hand-held remote control device configured to be in communication with a mobile device. The hand-held remote control device can include a plurality of operator input modules configured for manual actuation. The mobile device can be configured to be operatively connected to the power machine by a wireless communication system. The mobile device can be configured to receive an input from the hand-held remote control device, and output a command signal to a control system on the power machine based on the received input to command one or more functions of the power machine.

Remote control for a power machine

A control system is provided for a first power machine having a first actuator and a second power machine having a second actuator. The first power machine includes a first user input device. Aa first user input corresponding to a power machine operation can be received via the first user input device and a control mode for controlling the execution of the power machine operation can be determined. Controlling the execution of the power machine operation can selectively include: in a local control mode, controlling the first actuator to execute the power machine operation with the first power machine; and in a remote control mode, controlling the second actuator to execute the power machine operation with the second power machine.

Control of multiple power machines

Power machines and loaders having doors with an integrated display that allows the display of information, such as gauges, user inputs, mapped obstacles, boundaries, etc., that allows the operator of the machine to see the displayed information closer to the line of sight with the work area. The display can show augmented reality information about a worksite.

Display integrated into door

Disclosed embodiments include power machines having doors with a display that allows the display of information, such as gauges, user inputs, mapped obstacles, boundaries, etc., allowing the operator of the machine to see the displayed information closer to the line of sight with the work area.

Disclosed embodiments include power machines or loaders, and systems used on loaders, configured to augment the control of the loader to accomplish repetitive tasks. Also disclosed are methods of learning a task for augmented control of a loader, and methods of controlling a loader to perform a learned task to provide augmented control of the loader.

Augmented loader controls

Disclosed embodiments include power machines such as loaders, and systems used on power machines, configured to detect the presence of an object in a zone adjacent the rear or sides of the power machine and to responsively control the power machine to stop or slow work functions.
