They rely solely on a single detection method and cannot obtain real-time data on the three-dimensional shape, density distribution, and temperature of the material pile. Furthermore, they lack the ability to preprocess real-time data and perform dynamic path planning, making it difficult to adjust the cantilever angle and bucket wheel speed in real time based on the characteristics of the material pile. This results in low operating efficiency, high energy consumption, frequent manual intervention, and difficulty in improving long-term operating performance. Summary of the Invention
