Abstract
A positioning assist apparatus includes a vision system that generates target device data representative of an obtained image of a set of target devices carried on the boom or tool carrier of the loader or on both, and positioning assist logic executable by a processor to determine a current position and/or pose of the loader based on the target device data, and to generate current loader position data representative of the determined current position of the loader. The loader positon is based on loader height as may be represented by boom angle, and tool carrier angle. Data is generated for display to an operator to visually communicate movement instructions to the operator and/or to generate control signals controlling the loader, each to move the loader from the determined current position to a desired position in response to a return to position (RTP) command received by the apparatus.
