WORK MACHINE AND REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WORK MACHINE
A work machine includes: a vehicle body; a first imaging device that is disposed in the vehicle body and images a first imaging range; a second imaging device that is disposed in the vehicle body and images a second imaging range; and a communication device that transmits a first image in the first imaging range and a second image in the second imaging range to a remote place. At least a part of the second imaging range is set below the first imaging range.
OPERATION SUPPORT SERVER, OPERATION SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND OPERATION SUPPORT METHOD
There is provided a technique capable of appropriately controlling a warm-up completion timing of a work machine in view of scheduled use of the work machine. A warm-up period elapsed until a measurement value of an internal state variable satisfies a designated condition, i.e., warm-up is completed since a warm-up operation of a work machine 40 was started is predicted based on a measurement value of an external state variable with an operation of the work machine 40 stopped. The warm-up operation of the work machine 40 is started at a first designated time t1 as an appropriate timing based on the predicted warm-up period such that the measurement value of the internal state variable of the work machine 40 satisfies the designated condition by a second designated time t2.
MEASUREMENT DEVICE, OPERATION SUPPORT SYSTEM, AND CONSTRUCTION MACHINERY
A measurement device is configured to: calculate first contour data of a container in an empty state at a first time; calculate second contour data indicating a surface contour of an object at a second time in execution of a scooping operation by the container; rotate the second contour data, based on differential information indicating a difference between second posture data of a working gear 4 at the second time and first posture data of the working gear 4 at the first time; specify a region defined by supplemental contour data for supplementing the surface contour of the object contained in the container in the execution of the scooping operation, the rotated second contour data, and the first contour data; and calculate, based on the specified region, a first volume indicating a volume of the object contained in the container.
INSPECTION SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTION MACHINE
A remote control system 1 having a function as an inspection system includes a plurality of cameras 25, 60 which are located in a location environment of a construction machine 10, a captured image processing unit 50a configured to cause a display unit 45 to display captured images, and a camera selection unit 50b configured to select an inspection camera from the plurality of cameras 25, 60 at a time of inspection of the construction machine 10. The captured image processing unit 50a is configured to receive an image captured by the selected inspection camera to include an image of a portion to be inspected and cause the display unit 45 to display the captured image.
DEMOLITION SYSTEM
A demolition system includes a frame, a plurality of outriggers, a demolition apparatus, and a water reservoir. The frame includes a frame base, a plurality of support members coupled to the frame base, a platform coupled to the plurality of support members, and one or more lifting ears extending from the platform. The plurality of outriggers are coupled to the frame base. The demolition apparatus is coupled to and supported by the frame base. The demolition apparatus includes a main body rotatably coupled to the frame base, an arm extending from the main body between two of the plurality of support members, one or more gripping members coupled to the arm, and a motor configured to selectively rotate the main body relative to the frame base. The water reservoir is coupled to and supported by the platform of the frame. Additionally, the water reservoir provides water to the demolition apparatus.
CALIBRATING MOUNTING MISALIGNMENTS OF SENSORS ON AN IMPLEMENT OF A WORK MACHINE USING SWING MOTION
A computer-implemented method of operating an implement for a work machine as disclosed herein includes a calibration mode and an operation mode. In the calibration mode: at least one of one or more components of the implement may be rotated about at least one linkage joint corresponding to the at least one of the one or more components into one or more poses; for the one or more poses, the implement may be revolved about a frame of the work machine; output signals may be received from at least one sensor associated with the at least one of the one or more components; and at least one characteristic for the at least one of the one or more components may be tracked. In the operation mode, movement of the at least one of the one or more components may be based in part on the tracked at least one characteristic.
Work machine
A controller mounted in a work machine limits a velocity at which a work device approaches a design surface to be equal to or lower than a predetermined limiting velocity in such a manner that the work machine is located above the design surface when an operation device is operated. The controller determines whether a work phase of the work device is compaction work on the basis of a posture of a bucket with respect to the design surface in a case in which the operation device instructs the work device to approach the design surface, and sets the limiting velocity when determining that the work phase of the work device is the compaction work to be higher than the limiting velocity when determining that the work phase of the work device is other than the compaction work.
Intelligent assist system for a work machine
A work machine controller that is coupled to the boom assembly may comprise of a controller with a memory that stores computer-executable instructions and a processor that executes instructions. The instructions include monitoring a first position signal from the first boom position sensor, a second position signal from the second boom position sensor, the load signal, and the orientation signal. The instructions then include calculating a load vector based on the load signal and the orientation signal, generating a disorientation signal based on the load vector and a direction of travel, determining if the disorientation signal is outside a predetermined threshold, and actuating one or more of the actuators and the ground-engaging mechanism to reorient the load when the disorientation signal exceeds the predetermined threshold.
CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WORK VEHICLE, CONTROL METHOD, AND WORK VEHICLE
A control system for a work vehicle includes at least one sensor, an operating device, and a controller. The operating device includes at least one operating member. The controller is programmed to control a work implement of the work vehicle based on signals from the at least one sensor and the operating device. The controller is further programmed to use the signals to obtain a distance between the work implement and a design terrain which represents a target shape of a work object, and to determine whether a surface compaction determination condition indicating that work performed by the work implement is surface compaction work is satisfied. The controller executes a surface compaction control in which a velocity of the work implement toward the design terrain is limited in response to the distance between the work implement and the design terrain when the surface compaction determination condition is satisfied.
EXCAVATOR
An excavator includes a machine guidance device having a machine guidance function, wherein the machine guidance function sets a standard surface at a position closer to a ground surface than an excavation target surface, compares a height of a region of work by an end attachment with a height of the standard surface, and performs guidance by a report sound based on a result of the comparison.
