Abstract

Slope finishing is one of the most difficult tasks for a hydraulic excavator. Using the system which we have developed, even unskilled operators can do slope finishing by only one lever operation. For this system, we have developed various control algorithms such as non-linear compensation, feedback plus feedfoward control, gain scheduling and learning control. Coping with the non-liner characteristics and large mass of a hydraulic shovel, these control algorithms bring high control accuracy and high stability. This system was experimentally shown to be useful and has been put to practical use.
