Patent ID: 7752778

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 a boom angle of the boom with respect to a support near the first end; 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 angle of attachment with respect to the boom; an accelerometer for detecting an acceleration or deceleration of the boom; a switch for accepting a command to move from a preset position from another position; and a controller for controlling the first hydraulic cylinder to attain a boom angle within the target boom angular range and for controlling the second cylinder to attain an attachment angle within the target attachment angular range 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.
