A distance calculation unit calculates a first distance that is a distance between a first bucket point being a point on a bucket and a target design surface representing a target shape of an excavation target. The distance calculation unit calculates a second distance that is a distance between the target design surface and a second bucket point. The second bucket point is on the bucket on a straight line passing through the first bucket point and is parallel to an edge of the bucket. A tilt control unit compares the first distance and the second distance to calculate a tilt control amount to rotate the bucket around a tilt axis.

There is provided a technology capable of improving work efficiency of a work machine that is remotely operated by an operator through a remote operation apparatus. If a first condition is satisfied, that is, if an engine stop instruction for a work machine 40 is made through a remote input interface 21 of the remote operation apparatus 20, operation of an engine 460 is stopped in principle, but the operation of the engine 460 is exceptionally not stopped. Specifically, when an operator does not exist at a specified position at the time of operating a remote operation mechanism 211 in the remote operation apparatus 20, the operation of the engine 460 is stopped. On the other hand, when the operator exists at the specified position, the operation of the engine 460 is continued without being stopped even if an engine operation instruction is made.

The method for controlling the work machine includes executing a restraint process of restraining an operation of the work machine based on a detection result of a detector detecting a detection target in a monitoring area around the work machine, performing switching between an enabled state and a disabled state of a function associated with the restraint process, and displaying a display screen including restraint state information indicating whether the function associated with the restraint process is enabled or disabled, on a display device.

Provided is a work machine capable of eliminating the inconvenience from the operator of the work machine as much as possible while deterring a contact between the work machine and workers, and suppressing a decrease in productivity of the work machine. A work machine 5 includes: an identification information recognition device 41 configured to recognize identification information on a person who enters a predetermined region R around the work machine 5; and a controller 7 configured to control the work machine in accordance with the identification information. When a person enters the predetermined region R under the condition that the work machine 5 is ready for operation, the controller 7 counts the number of times the person enters the predetermined region R as the number of approaches for each person distinguished with the identification information, and controls the work machine 5 based on the counted number of approaches in accordance with the identification information of the person who is in the predetermined region R.

Both a control for limiting operation of a machine body and a control for raising engine speed are achieved when an obstacle is detected. To this end, a machine controller performs operation limiting control by conducting a control for reducing the speed of the engine when the machine body does not require engine speed increase control and an obstacle is sensed by obstacle sensors, and the machine controller performs supply flow rate reduction control for reducing the flow rates of the hydraulic fluid supplied to hydraulic actuators from a hydraulic pump when the machine body requires the engine speed increase control and an obstacle is sensed by the obstacle sensors.

A work machine includes one or more processors; and a memory device storing a program, wherein when executed by the one or more processors, causes a computer of the work machine to perform a process including prompting an operator to perform a safety check around the work machine at intervals of a predetermined time when the operator has not performed the safety check around the work machine for more than the predetermined time.

There is provided a construction machine capable of performing hanging work according to the intention of an operator. A hydraulic excavator 1 includes: an operating lever 420 for performing a turning operation; the cameras 61, 62, 63 for detecting any obstacle; and a controller 8 for controlling the operations of a vehicle body and a front working device 5. In the hydraulic excavator 1, in a case where the obstacle is detected by any of the cameras 61, 62, 63, the controller 8 performs an operation limiting process. The hydraulic excavator 1 further includes a hook 53A, a mode selector switch 64 for switching the operation to a hanging work mode. In a case where the obstacle is detected by any of the cameras 61, 62, 63, the controller 8 disables the operation limiting process and controls the operation of the vehicle body or the front working device 5 according to the manipulated variable of the operating lever 420.

A shovel includes a plurality of driven elements, a plurality of actuators configured to drive the plurality of driven elements, and a hardware processor configured to, in response to detecting that two or more actuators of the plurality of actuators are synchronously moved, prohibit a motion of another actuator of the plurality of actuators that is different from the two or more actuators of the plurality of actuators.

A loading machine for loading, hauling, and dumping material about a worksite includes a lifting implement pivotally joined to a machine frame to articulate with respect to a work surface. A lift sensor is operatively configured to measure vertical articulation of the lifting mechanism. An electronic controller communicating with the lift sensor can be programmed to operate the loading machine in one of a rated performance mode and a limited performance mode depending upon the vertical articulation of the lifting implement with respect to the work surface.

This construction machine comprises: includes a work machine; an automatic controller for automatically controlling the work machine according to design information; an operation lever for manually controlling the work machine; and an automatic switch mounted on the operation lever and alternatively switching between activation and deactivation of the automatic control. The manual control of the work machine has higher priority than the automatic control.
