Automated load drop based on machine configuration

A controller may obtain, from one or more first devices of a first machine, first information regarding a load associated with a first portion of an object. The first portion, of the object, may be carried by an implement of the first machine and a second portion, of the object, may be carried by an implement of a second machine. The controller may obtain, from one or more second devices of the first machine, second information regarding an orientation of the first machine. The controller may determine, based on the first information and a threshold derived based on the second information, that a load drop condition is satisfied; perform a first action associated with dropping the load; and transmit, to the second machine, information regarding the first action to cause the second machine to perform a second action.

EXCAVATION SYSTEM, WORK SYSTEM, CONTROL DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM STORING A PROGRAM

The present invention provides an excavation system capable of improving the work efficiency at a worksite. An excavation device (20) excavates an object (80) treated as an excavation target at an excavation spot. A first detection device (2) is installed at an excavation spot away from the excavation device (20). The first detection device (2) detects information related to the object (80) at the excavation spot. A control device (10) transmits, to the excavation device (20), control information related to operations of the excavation device (20) based on target location data indicating the position of the object (80), which corresponds to information related to the object (80). The excavation device (20) executes operations for excavation in accordance with the control information.

There is provided a work machine enabling an operator who operates the work machine to remotely control another work machine with a feeling that the work machine is operated. An work machine 100 includes an operation mechanism 52 provided in a ride section 50 and to be operated by the operator, an actuator 63 (a driving mechanism) configured to drive the work machine 100, communication equipment 53, and a master control device 61. The master control device 61 controls an operation of the actuator 63 depending on an operation mode of the operation mechanism 52 by the operator and causes the communication equipment 53 to transmit an operation command signal to the other work machine 200 after generating the operation command signal.

Construction management system and construction management method

A manager terminal generates work plan information that is information regarding a work plan by at least one work machine, set for each operator who remotely operates the at least one work machine, and includes a work item by the work machine that is remotely operated by the operator and work time for the work item based on contents input by a construction manager, and inputs the work plan information into a server. The server generates progress information indicating work progress of the operator for the at least one work machine based on the work plan information input from the manager terminal and work information input from at least one work information acquisition unit, inputs the progress information into the manager terminal, and presents the progress information to the construction manager.

Operation Assistance System for Work Machine

Provided is an operation assistance system for a work machine having both operation assistance and work assistance functions, capable of reducing the inconvenience to an operator or the like of setting an area of the operation assistance function and an area of the work assistance function, and preventing a collision of the work machine with an object in a work area. The operation assistance system for a work machine has the operation assistance function of stopping a hydraulic excavator (work machine) 1 when an object is detected in a stop area 40 set in advance and the work assistance function of preventing the hydraulic excavator (work machine) 1 from going out of a work area 51 set in advance. When both of the work assistance function and the operation assistance function can be switched between enabled and disabled states, and when the work assistance function is in an enabled state and the work area 51 is set, the operation assistance system enables the operation assistance function and sets the work area 51 as the stop area 40.

FILLING EARTH INTO A VEHICLE USING A COOPERATIVE FLEET OF VEHICLES

This description provides an autonomous or semi-autonomous earth shaping vehicle that is capable of cooperatively filling earth into a fill location in a dig site. A first earth shaping vehicle configured with a hauling tool carrying a volume of earth navigates to the fill location. At the fill location, the first earth shaping vehicle navigates over a target tool path to fill earth from the hauling tool into the fill location. As the first earth shaping vehicle fills earth into the fill location, a measurement sensor coupled to the first earth shaping vehicle measures a compaction level of earth filled into the fill location. If the measured compaction level is determined to be below a threshold compaction level, the first earth shaping vehicle communicates a request for a second earth shaping vehicle configured with a compaction tool to compact earth in the fill location.

According to some implementations, a magnetic sensor may include a communication device; a magnetic switch; and a controller configured to: determine whether the magnetic switch is actuated by a magnet associated with the bucket tooth; generate, based on determining whether the magnetic switch is actuated, a message concerning an attachment status of the bucket tooth; and cause the communication device to wirelessly transmit the message.

Automated Mobilization of Mobile Machines

The disclosure describes technology that is related to mobile machines performing an automated mobilization task based on a mobilization command received from an electronic device that is separate from the mobile machines. The mobile machine may receive, from the electronic device, a mobilization command that instructs relocation of the mobile machine from an initial location to a final location. The mobile machine may traverse a path on a worksite that includes a series of locations extending from the initial location of the mobile machine to the final location. Furthermore, the mobile machine may determine its present position includes the final location, and, in response, send a relocation notification to the electronic device indicating that the mobilization task is completed.
