Abstract
Described herein are systems, methods, and other techniques for determining a material type while an implement of a construction machine is interacting with a ground surface. A vibration signal that is indicative of a movement of the implement is captured. One or more features are extracted from the vibration signal. The one or more features are provided to a machine-learning model to generate a model output. The material type of the ground surface is predicted based on the model output.
