The possibility of a work machine 40 being affected by a disaster in a second designated area including an existence position of the work machine 40 is predicted based on an amount of rainfall in a first designated area. A hazard map representing a result of the prediction of the possibility of the work machine 40 being affected by a disaster in the second designated area is outputted to a remote output interface 220 in a remote operation apparatus 20 (a client) (or a management output interface 620 in a management client 60). Accordingly, a user can take measures to reduce the possibility of the work machine being affected by a disaster, for example, to communicate with the persons involved in order to move the work machine 40 from a current position.

A control system for remotely controlling a power machine is provided. The remote control system can include a hand-held remote control device configured to be in communication with a mobile device. The hand-held remote control device can include a plurality of operator input modules configured for manual actuation. The mobile device can be configured to be operatively connected to the power machine by a wireless communication system. The mobile device can be configured to receive an input from the hand-held remote control device, and output a command signal to a control system on the power machine based on the received input to command one or more functions of the power machine.

A mobile work machine includes a wireless communication system configured to receive a wireless communication signal from a transmitter corresponding to a machine component on the mobile work machine, machine component identification logic configured to obtain a machine component identifier, that uniquely identifies the machine component, based on the wireless communication signal, operation detection logic configured to detect a machine operation associated with the machine component and to generate component performance data correlated to the machine component based on the machine operation, and control signal generator logic configured to generate a control signal that controls the mobile work machine based on the component performance data.

According to the present invention, a controller determines whether the current performance of a piece of equipment satisfies a determination criterion, on the basis of the current state of the equipment, acquired by a sensor. If the controller determines that the current performance of the equipment does not satisfy the determination criterion, the controller calculates a parameter with which the performance of the equipment satisfies the determination criterion, on the basis of the current state of the equipment, acquired by the sensor, and the determination criterion. The controller changes a parameter managed by a storage device to the parameter calculated by the controller.

A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, a cab mounted on the upper turning body, a display device provided in the cab and configured to display a setting screen associated with work assistance, an audio input device provided in the cab, and a hardware processor configured to perform audio recognition. The hardware processor is configured to recognize speech input through the audio input device and executes a process related to the setting screen according to a recognition result.

Process for clearing an autonomous machine including first evaluating operation at a high curvature offline location. Following acceptable operation, the machine is placed into service and evaluated at a worksite. Following acceptable worksite operation, online operating speed of the machine is increased incrementally, and performance reevaluated. Following acceptable performance characteristics, online operating speed of the machine continues to be increased and revaluated until the machine reaches maximum designated operating speed, or is evaluated as unacceptable, in which case the machine continues to operate at the last acceptable online operating speed and identifies the unacceptable performance characteristic for further evaluation.

A device may receive machine data indicating a pose of one or more components of a machine. The machine data may be generated based on first data from one or more first sensor devices associated with the machine. The device may generate validation data to validate the machine data. The validation data may be generated based on second data from a second set of sensor devices. The device may perform a comparison of the machine data and the validation data and determine, based the comparison, whether the machine data is validated or not validated. The device may selectively control an operation of the machine based on the machine data. Based on determining that the machine data is validated, the operation may be controlled based on the machine data. The operation may be controlled without the machine data based on determining that the machine data is not validated.

A method for providing display redundancy on a machine is provided. The machine includes a first display configured to perform a first set of functionalities associated with one or more operations of the machine and a second display configured to perform a second set of functionalities associated with the one or more operations of the machine, the second set of functionalities being different from the first set of functionalities. The method includes detecting, by a controller, failure of the first display. The method further includes executing, by the controller, at least a subset of the first set of functionalities on the second display along with at least a subset of the second set of functionalities, when the failure of the first display is detected.

A hydraulic excavator for performing cooperative work with another hydraulic excavator or a worker includes: a driving device that makes the hydraulic excavator operate; a cooperative function device that shares information about the hydraulic excavator with an inside and an outside of the hydraulic excavator; and a controller that controls the driving device that makes the hydraulic excavator operate, the controller, when there is an abnormality in the cooperative function device, controlling the driving device so as to limit operation of the hydraulic excavator, and when the hydraulic excavator is performing the cooperative work, controlling the driving device so as to make a degree of limitation on the operation of the hydraulic excavator stronger than when the hydraulic excavator is not performing the cooperative work. It is thereby possible to suppress an unnecessary decrease in work efficiency by suppressing an excessive operation limitation on the hydraulic excavator.

A work vehicle includes: an imaging device that captures an image in which a work target is shown; an image transmission unit that transmits the image captured by the imaging device to a control device; an operation signal reception unit that receives an operation signal from the control device; and an operation control unit that limits the operation signal according to a transmission status of the image.
