A guide display unit for a crane, wherein a data processing unit: calculates a measurement area corresponding to the measurement area of a camera; the measurement area from the viewpoint of the camera and generates a first image; performs mosaic-processing on the image captured by the camera according to the particle size of the three-dimensional map and generates a second image; performs registration processing on the first image and the second image and calculates the amount of deviation between the first image and the second image; corrects the position of a guide frame figure with respect to the image of a suspended load and a feature on the basis of the calculated amount of deviation; and overlays the guide frame figure on the images of the suspended load and the feature and displays the result on the data display unit.

Provided is a guide display device that prevents misidentification of the same feature as a plurality of different features or the ground surface even if an occlusion area occurs. A guide display device for a crane includes: a laser scanner that scans a suspended load and a ground surface from above the suspended load; and a data processing unit that calculates a representative point for each grid using the point cloud data acquired by the laser scanner, creates a three-dimensional map based on the representative points, and updates the three-dimensional map if the newly calculated representative point differs from the existing representative point. When an occlusion area, which is a shadow of the suspended load, occurs in the three-dimensional map, the occlusion area is not updated even if the newly calculated representative point and the existing representative point are different.

The disclosure is directed at a robotic platform for use in large workspaces. The disclosure includes a moving platform that is controlled by a set of cable actuators via a set of cables. The cables are also connected to at least one of a counterbalancing and/or a counterweight system to reduce the impact of forces being experienced on the moving platform on the set of cable actuators. In one embodiment, at least two of the set of cable actuators are connected with a single closed cable loop.

This disclosure relates to an implement, in particular crane or excavator, comprising a drive, a control unit, a measuring device and a memory. A component of the implement can be moved by means of the drive, wherein the drive can be actuated via the control unit. The measuring device can detect an actual variable relating to a movement of the driven component. In the memory, at least one characteristic curve for the actuation of the drive is stored. On the basis of a detected deviation, the control unit according to the disclosure can independently adjust the characteristic curve stored already or generate a new characteristic curve and store the same in the memory. The disclosure furthermore relates to a method of actuating a drive of such an implement.
