A position/posture computing section determines that an azimuth of an upper swing structure calculated at a GNSS receiver is of low quality when at least one of a posture angle of the upper swing structure acquired at a machine-body IMU and a posture angle of a front work implement acquired at a boom IMU is equal to or larger than a threshold value, executes a bias removal computation on the basis of the quality of the azimuth and the azimuth of the upper swing structure calculated at the GNSS receiver, calculates a corrected azimuth of the upper swing structure on the basis of the azimuth of the upper swing structure calculated at the GNSS receiver, and an angular velocity of the upper swing structure from which a gyro bias has been removed, and computes a three-dimensional position and posture of the front work implement by using the corrected azimuth.

WORK MACHINE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING WORK MACHINE

Occurrence of a skid due to revolution of a revolving unit is suppressed. A work machine includes a traveling unit, a revolving unit revolvably mounted on the traveling unit, and a controller that controls operations of the work machine. The controller determines whether or not a skid of the traveling unit has occurred in a revolving operation of the revolving unit during an automatic operation of the work machine. When the controller determines that the skid has occurred, it performs processing for weakening rotational inertial force generated in the revolving operation.

A work machine is improved in manipulability. The work machine includes a manipulation device, an actuator, a surrounding area monitoring device, and a controller. The manipulation device is manipulated to operate the work machine. The actuator drives the work machine in a manner corresponding to a manipulation of the manipulation device. The surrounding area monitoring device serves as a device for detecting whether an object to be recognized is present or not inside a set region that is set in a surrounding area of the work machine. The controller controls the work machine. When a prescribed manipulation device is manipulated in a case where it is detected that the object is present inside the set region, the controller restricts an operation of the actuator corresponding to a manipulation of the manipulation device.
