Patent ID: 7752779

Claim:
A system for automated operation of a work vehicle, the system comprising: a boom having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; a first hydraulic cylinder associated with the boom; a first sensor for detecting at boom position based on a first linear position of a first movable member of the first hydraulic cylinder; an attachment coupled to the second end of the boom; a second hydraulic cylinder associated with the attachment; a second sensor for detecting an attachment position of attachment based on a second linear position of a second movable member of the second hydraulic cylinder; an accelerometer for detecting an acceleration or deceleration of the boom; a switch for accepting a command to move to a preset position from another position; and a controller for controlling the first hydraulic cylinder to attain a target boom position and for controlling the second cylinder to attain a target attachment position associated with the preset position in response to the command in conformity with at least one of a desired boom motion curve and a desired attachment motion curve.
