Abstract
An autonomous off-road vehicle (AOV) includes a vehicle body and a vehicle arm coupled to the vehicle body and including a set of prongs and a clamp extending outward from an end of the vehicle arm. A controller causes the vehicle arm to pick up a pile by: aligning the set of prongs with an end of the pile such that a first prong aligns with an opening on a first side of a web of the pile and a second prong aligns with a space on a second side of the web, inserting the set of prongs into the opening on the first side and the space on the second side, and compressing the clamp into an exterior surface of a flange of the pile such that the set of prongs are reciprocally compressed into an interior surface of the flange on either side of the web.
