Claim 0:
1. A system for controlling operations of a refuse collection vehicle (RCV), the system comprising:
at least one controller configured to control a grabber of the RCV and a lift arm of the RCV, the grabber operable to engage a refuse container, the lift arm operable to lift the refuse container;
at least one processor communicably coupled to the at least one controller;
memory communicably coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
receiving sensor data from at least one sensor on the RCV, the sensor data describing a current grabber positioning of the grabber and a current lift arm positioning of the lift arm;
receiving an indication of a preset grabber positioning selected using at least one controller that is communicably coupled to the system, the preset grabber positioning selected from a plurality of preset grabber positionings that are selectable using the at least one controller; and
in response to receiving the indication of the preset grabber positioning, moving the grabber into the preset grabber positioning while automatically adjusting the lift arm positioning relative to the grabber positioning during at least one operation to engage the refuse container, wherein the lift arm positioning is automatically adjusted relative to the grabber positioning based at least partly on the sensor data.
