Abstract
A loading system is constructed to load a hauling machine by a loading machine. The system includes a fiducial marker affixed to the hauling machine. A set of sensors of diverse sensory modalities is deployed on the loading machine that generate respective signals indicative of the fiducial marker in the corresponding sensor modalities. A processor on the loading machine determines a machine orientation in space of the hauling machine through machine perception applied to the signals. Loading the hauling machine by the loading machine is guided according to the machine orientation.
