    Abstract: A loading machine includes a swing body and work equipment with a bucket. A control device of the loading machine includes a loading target specifying unit that specifies a position and shape of a loading target, an avoidance position specifying unit, and a movement processing unit. The avoidance position specifying unit specifies an interference avoidance position based on the position and shape of the loading target. The movement processing unit outputs an operation signal to drive only the swing body until the bucket reaches the interference avoidance position from a loading position above the loading target, to cause the bucket to move to the interference avoidance position. The movement processing unit outputs an operation signal to drive the swing body and the work equipment after the bucket has reached the interference avoidance position, to cause the bucket to move to an excavation position above an excavation target.

    Abstract: Provided is a wheel loader capable of reducing erroneous determination of rear wheel lifting. The wheel loader 1 includes a controller 5 for determining a rear wheel lifting state where rear wheels 11B are lifted upwardly. The controller 5 is configured to, when a temporal change rate α of a bucket operation angle becomes a temporal change rate of a bucket operation angle necessary for a tilt operation of a bucket 23 during an excavation operation and a temporal change rate β of a vehicle body inclination angle estimated by the controller 5 becomes a temporal change rate of an obliquely upward inclination state of a rear vehicle body with respect to a front vehicle body, turn on a correlation flag indicating a correlation between an operation state of the bucket 23 and an inclination state of a vehicle body to determine a rear wheel lifting.

    Abstract: A target locus of an attachment is determined while a calculation load for generating the target locus of the attachment is suppressed. A controller is configured to set a position of an arm distal end at a time when a contact detector detects contact of a bucket distal end with an excavation object at a start point of an arm distal end target locus. The controller is configured to receive information about a form of the arm distal end target locus in advance. The controller is configured to set a position for a finish point on the basis of an angle of a surface of the excavation object, an intersection angle between the arm distal end target locus and the surface of the excavation object, information about the form of the arm distal end target locus, and an offset amount about the finish point of the arm distal end target locus.

    Abstract: A work machine includes a swing structure, a work device, a position sensor, a posture sensor and a controller that performs machine control on the basis of a target surface set on the basis of target shape data, the position information of the swing structure, and the information about the posture of the work machine. When the controller becomes unable to obtain the position information of the swing structure, the controller stores swing angle information of the swing structure, the swing angle information being sensed by the posture sensor at that time. The controller prohibits execution of the machine control when the swing structure is positioned outside a swing range; and permits the execution of the machine control when the swing structure is positioned inside the swing range and when the swing structure is positioned inside the swing range again after being positioned outside the swing range.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for controlling movement of an implement for a self-propelled work vehicle, said implement comprising one or more components coupled to a main frame of the work vehicle. A linkage joint in defined in association with at least one implement component, wherein sensors are respectively associated with opposing sides of the linkage joint. Output signals from each sensor comprise sense elements which are fused in an independent coordinate frame associated at least in part with the respective linkage joint, wherein the independent coordinate frame is independent of a global navigation frame for the work vehicle. At least one joint characteristic (e.g., joint angle) is tracked based on at least a portion of the sense elements from the received output signals for each of the opposing sides of the respective linkage joint. Movement of implement components may optionally be controlled in view of the tracked joint characteristics.

    Abstract: Upon determining that the work apparatus will not enter a prohibited area set on the basis of output of a second position calculator of a carrier, the system computes, on the basis of the result of a prediction computation, first input of the dynamic characteristic with which a distal end of the work apparatus approaches a target position set on the basis of the output of the second position calculator. Upon determining that the work apparatus will enter the prohibited area, the system computes second input of the dynamic characteristic with which the distal end targets and approaches a position that is closer to the target position than the position of the distal end of the work apparatus at a position different from the target position outside the prohibited area, and the system computes control input for controlling the operation of the loader.
