    摘要: A method is provided for determining the vertical position of at least a point of a ground portion using a work machine including an implement. The work machine further includes a position determining arrangement adapted to determine at least the vertical position of the implement and a force determining arrangement adapted to determine a force applied to the implement. The method includes determining a contact force value indicative of a contact force between the ground portion and the implement using the force determining arrangement, determining whether or not the contact force value is within a predetermined contact force value range, and if it is determined that the contact force value is within the predetermined contact force value range, using the position determining arrangement for determining at least the vertical position of a portion of the implement which is in contact with the ground portion.

    摘要: A method to control a marine vessel comprising two or more drive units. The method involves registering an operating command indicating a requested sideways or bow bollard push function; detecting a current vessel position; registering the current vessel position as a desired vessel position; executing the requested bollard push function; and monitoring the current vessel position in order to detect a deviation relative to the desired vessel position. If it is detected that a deviation between the desired vessel position has exceeded a predetermined value, then the requested bollard push function is deactivated. The disclosure further relates to a control unit arranged to control a marine vessel and a marine vessel comprising such a control unit.

    摘要: A control unit is provided for a work machine. The work machine includes an implement and an arrangement for determining the position and orientation of the implement. The control unit is adapted to, for at least two different orientations of the implement, perform the steps of:
    determining that the implement contacts a reference surface,
    determining the position of a reference point for the implement when the implement and the reference surface are in contact with each other, and
    determining the position of a point on the periphery of the implement relative to said reference point by using said reference point position.

    摘要: A boat basically includes a hull, at least one propulsion unit, a heading sensor, a position sensor and a controller. The at least one propulsion unit is movably mounted to the hull, and has a propulsion axis. The heading sensor is configured to detect a heading of the boat. The position sensor is configured to detect a position of the boat. The controller is programmed to turn the at least one propulsion unit relative to the hull such that the propulsion axis moves away from a center point of the boat to correct the heading of the boat upon determining that the boat is drifting in a drift direction based on detection results of the heading sensor and the position sensor.

    摘要: A control unit is provided for a working machine. The working machine includes an implement and a main body. The implement is movable relative to the main body. The working machine further includes a control entity adapted to be activated upon receipt of an action initiating signal. The control unit is adapted to identify that a human operator of the working machine actively operates the implement relative to the main body towards a reference surface until the implement contacts the reference surface, thereby identifying a human operator input signal, and upon identification of the operator input signal, issue the action initiating signal to the control entity.
