Provided is an unmanned work machine capable of reliably coordinating with a manned work machine and smoothly executing work. An excavating machine 100 is an unmanned work machine capable of working in coordination with a hauling machine 200 that is a manned work machine. The excavating machine 100 includes sound collectors 31a and 31b that are a receiver receiving a notification regarding the operating status of the hauling machine 200 or an operating instruction to the excavating machine 100, which are transmitted from the hauling machine 200 in response to the operation by an operator aboard the hauling machine 200, and a controller 10 that controls the operation of the excavating machine 100 in accordance with the received notification.

In a case that a change instruction to instruct to change a work area A1 to a requested work area A2 is input, whether or not change of the work area A1 to the requested work area A2 is possible is judged on the basis of the work area A1, location information of a machine main body configured by an upper swing structure 10 and a lower track structure 9, and posture information of a work device 15, and the work area A1 is overwritten with the requested work area A2 to change the work area in an only case that it is judged that change is possible. This can suppress interference between plural work machines.

A system for updating a virtual worksite includes a plurality of simulated construction machine controllers associated with a corresponding construction machine. Each simulated construction machine controller collects data indicative of an updated height map of one or more portions of the virtual worksite on which the corresponding construction machine is operating. A central controller receives the data indicative of the updated height map of the one or more portions of the virtual worksite from the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers and compares the received data with an initial data model of the virtual worksite. The central controller generates an updated data model of the virtual worksite based on the comparison and transmits the updated data model of the virtual worksite to each of the plurality of simulated construction machine controllers and/or a user interface. The user interface displays a real time streaming of data of the virtual worksite thereon.

A system includes a work machine having a work implement including a bucket, and a server capable of communicating with the work machine. The work machine transmits an identification number associated with the work machine to the server. The server obtains basic data based on the identification information and used for calculating the position of teeth of the bucket. The server transmits the obtained basic data to the work machine.

A moving efficiency of a work machine decreases if an obstacle, an entrance prohibiting region, and the like are arranged inside a region, if a positioning precision of the work machine is relatively low, and the like. A control apparatus includes a control section to control a movement of a moving object based on at least one of a completion level of map information indicating a region where a moving object is permitted to enter and a location estimation precision of a moving object.

Method and systems for operating a work vehicle with a selectively interchangeable implement. Image data is captured by a camera (and/or other type of optical sensor) mounted on the work vehicle. The captured image data includes at least a portion of a first implement and the implement type of the first implement is identified by processing the captured image data. Operation information correspond to the identified implement type is accessed from a non-transitory computer-readable memory and an operation of the work vehicle is automatically adjusted based on the accessed operation information for the identified implement type. In some implementations, the implement type is determined by providing the captured image data as input to an artificial neural network and, in some implementations, the artificial neural network is configured to also output an indication of a current operating position of the implement based on the captured image data.

The invention relates to a solution for presenting information describing a running operating condition of a demolition robot (3:1), provided with a microprocessor (24), a memory (26), wherein current data are obtained by sensors (21) as well as recorded and compiled into a data file (db1:1-db1:n) for each recording instance. According to the invention, a data file with specific reference data (27) is recorded in the demolition robot's memory, current sensor data (21) that deviate from recorded specific reference data and thereby can affect the running operating condition of the demolition robot are identified in a first controller (30), identification of deviating sensor data (A) in the first controller (30) takes place during a determined time period (T), information about identified deviating sensor data (A) is stored in the memory (26), a key indicator (41, 42) that describes a current operational parameter for the demolition robot during the determined time period, during which deviating sensor data (A) are identified, is ascertained in a second controller (32), and the key indicator (41, 42) as well as information about identified deviating sensor data (A, 43) to the determined time period (T) are presented in a user interface (28).

The invention relates to a device for maintaining and/or repairing a construction machine, with a mobile maintenance station that can be placed at the jobsite where the construction machine is being used, comprising a 3D printer for printing replacement parts for the construction machine on the basis of component data and/or a mobile display device for displaying repair information on the construction machine on the basis of component data, wherein a data supply station that is at a separate location from the maintenance station is provided, can be connected to the maintenance station by way of a communication link and is configured for providing the maintenance station with 3D printing data for printing the replacement part, and the maintenance station is configured for printing the replacement part layer by layer on the basis of the 3D printing data received from the data supply station.

A server device for generating and outputting work management information of at least one carrier. The server device comprises a storage device for storing a program for generating work management information, and a controller for reading the program from the storage device and generating work management information by executing the program.
