The controller generates a command signal to operate the work implement according to the second target design topography in an area where the second target design topography is positioned above the first target design topography.

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.

A construction machine includes: a work device attached to a machine body in a raiseable and lowerable manner; an antenna that is attached to the machine body and receives positioning signals from satellites; a machine body IMU that senses information on a posture and motion of the machine body; an IMU that senses information on a posture of the work device; and a computing device that computes posture information indicating the postures of the machine body and the work device. The computing device performs positioning computation to compute a position of the machine body and a variance value thereof based on the positioning signals received by the antenna, subjects the position as a result of the positioning computation to first smoothing processing that is to increase a degree of smoothing as the variance value as a result of the positioning computation becomes larger, and computes the posture information.

The work machine further includes a work-implement operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a work-implement movement command, a boom operator control configured to transmit a signal indicative of a boom movement command, and a boom sensor configured to detect a movement of the boom and transmit a signal indicative of the detected movement of the boom. The work implement further includes a controller configured to receive signals from the work-implement operator control, the boom operator control, and the boom sensor. The controller is further configured transmit a signal to cause movement the work implement relative to the boom based on the detected movement of the boom and the work-implement movement command.

When an EMV performs an action comprising moving a tool of the EMV through soil or other material, the EMV can measure a current speed of the tool through the material and a current kinematic pressure exerted on the tool by the material. Using the measured current speed and kinematic pressure, the EMV system can use a machine learned model to determine one or more soil parameters of the material. The EMV can then make decisions based on the soil parameters, such as by selecting a tool speed for the EMV based on the determined soil parameters.

A system to control operation of a machine having a ground-engaging work implement for moving material about a worksite include a controller configured to determine a feasible target profile for the work implement to engage material. The feasible target profile may include a preload segment, a cut segment, and a loading segment. The controller determines a feasible prospective cut segment from a plurality of prospective cut segments. The controller generates a prospective preloading segment and a prospective loading segment associated with the feasible prospective cut profile. Position points associated with the loading segment are extracted and the controller determines if the ground-engaging work implement will align with the plurality of position points. The controller may also determine whether the load volume for the prospective cut segment is efficient.

A machine is disclosed. The machine may include a control system that includes a controller configured to: determine a center of gravity of the machine based on a state of the machine; determine at least one of a slope limit or a pitch limit for the machine based on the center of gravity; receive a command to perform an operation that, if performed, would affect at least one of a slope or a pitch of the machine; determine whether the operation, if performed, would cause the machine to exceed the at least one of the slope limit or the pitch limit; and selectively perform the operation based on determining whether the operation, if performed, would cause the machine to exceed the at least one of the slope limit or the pitch limit.

An excavator includes a lower traveling body; an upper turning body mounted on the lower traveling body; an attachment attached to the upper turning body; an attitude detecting device configured to detect an attitude of the attachment including a bucket; and a control device configured to control a toe angle of a toe of the bucket with respect to an excavation ground, based on a transition of the attitude of the attachment, information relating to a present shape of the excavation ground, and an operation content of an operation device relating to the attachment.

A method for automatically controlling an operation of a work vehicle during the performance of an earthmoving operation may include receiving an input associated with initiating an automated dumping operation to allow a load of worksite materials contained by an implement of a lift assembly of the work vehicle to be released onto a dump pile. The method may further include determining a current vertical height of the dump pile based on data from at least one sensor and determining a dumping height of the implement for performing the dumping operation based on the current vertical height. Additionally, the method may include controlling an operation of the lift assembly to move the implement to the dumping height and then to pivot the implement from a load-carrying position to a load-dumping position to release the load of worksite materials onto the dump pile from the dumping height.
