Hydraulic excavators have been popular devices in construction field because of its multi-workings and economic efficiency. The mathematical models of excavators have many nonlinearities because of nonlinear opening characteristics and dead zone of main control valve, oil temperature variation, etc. The objective of this paper is to develop a simulator for hydraulic excavator using AMESim. Components and whole circuit are expressed graphically. Parameters and nonlinear characteristics are inputted in text style. The simulator can be used to forecast excavator behavior when new components, new mechanical attachments, hydraulic circuit changes, and new control algorithm are applied. The simulator could be a kind of development platform for various new excavators.

굴삭기는 끝단의 작업 장치를 바꿈으로써 다양한 작업을 수행할 수 있어 다양한 분야에서 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 작업자의 조작에 의해 작동되는 굴삭기는 작업자의 숙련도에 따라 그 작업 능률이 차이가 나게 되므로 자동 굴삭기 시스템에 대한 요구가 증가하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 모형 굴삭기를 이용하여 자동 굴삭기 시스템을 제작하였다. 제작된 모형 굴삭기 시스템의 구동을 위해서 두 대를 컴퓨터를 이용하였다. 한 대의 컴퓨터는 작업 지령을 전달하기 위해 사용하고 다른 한 대의 컴퓨터는 굴삭기의 피드백 제어를 위해 이용하였다. 두 컴퓨터 사이의 데이터는 무선 통신을 이용하였다. 굴삭기의 피드백 제어시스템 구성을 위해서는 시변 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 이용하여 구성하고 실험을 통해 제안된 모형 굴삭기의 성능을 검증하였다.

To automate an excavator the control issues resulting from environmental uncertainties must be solved. In particular the interactions between the excavation tool and the excavation environment are dynamic, unstructured and complex. In addition, operating modes of an excavator depend on working conditions, which makes it difficult to derive the exact mathematical model of excavator. Even after the exact mathematical model is established, it is difficult to design of a controller because the system equations are highly nonlinear and the state variable are coupled. The objective of this study is to design a fuzzy logic controller(FLC) which controls the position of excavator's attachment. This approach enables the transfer of human heuristics and expert knowledge to the controller. Excavation experiments are carried out to check the performance of the FLC.

This paper deal with basic concept of Hardware In the Loop System(HILS) for hydraulic excavator. Hydraulic excavator has many nonlinearities because of P-Q diagram, dead zone and saturation of valve, single acting cylinder, heavy manipulator. So, actual test is needed when new component or control algorithm is developed but many restrictions exist. Hydraulic circuit of excavator is too complex to model mathematically but dynamic equation of manipulator has made good progress in previous studies. Basic concept of HILS and AMESim model of hydraulic components is contained in this paper.

A hydraulic Excavator is applied for outdoor tasks in construction, agriculture and undersea etc. When a hydraulic Excavator works crane function tasks, most of disasters happen. In this study, In order to preventing these disasters, the safety equipment algorithm for crane working is developed, and the safety equipment algorithm for crane working is being developed. The proposed control algorithm(Zero Moment Point) is designed to avoid overload. The hydraulic excavator for crane function must work within a maximum limit of load. To accurately detect a working load, pressure sensors of boom, arm cylinder, and angle sensors of boom, arm and bucket joint are used.

The earthwork is essential procedure for all civil engineering projects. Because of its importance in terms of cost and time, it should be managed effectively. In light of this, The Intelligent Excavating System (IES) research consortium has established to improve the productivity, quality and safety of current excavating/earthwork system by the Ministry of Land, Transportation and Maritime Affairs (MLTM) of Korea. This paper summarizes ongoing research aimed at development knowledge and presents a framework of task planning and visualization system for IES. The task planning and visualization system consists of three functions. 1) Using digital terrain model which created by 3D laser scanner, the system can divide it and generates global/local work area so that the excavator can work through the area. 2) In order to operate and/or control the excavator, the system exports the location, paths of boom, arm and bucket data of the excavator to control center. 3) The task planning system is visualized on the computer programming aided-graphic interface which simulates the planned work processes and eventually assists the operator for the control of the excavator. The case study which we have performed, demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed system.

Vibration of a hydraulic excavator's body and boom occurs when the boom quickly stops after upward or downward motion. The main objective of this research is to present an idea of suppressing the vibration. Three parameters which affect the vibration are defined and analyzed thoroughly and a heuristic method suppressing the vibration is presented in this paper. Experimental results show that the proposed method works very well.

Excavators are versatile earthmoving equipment that are used in civil engineering, hydraulic engineering, grading and landscaping, pipeline construction and mining. Effective operator training is essential to ensure safe and efficient operating of the machine. The virtual reality excavator based on simulation using conventional large size monitors is limited by the inability to provide a realistic real world training experience. We proposed a flexible observation method with a head tracking system to improve user feeling and sensation when operating a virtual reality excavator. First, an excavation simulator is designed by combining an excavator SimMechanics model and the virtual world. Second, a head mounted display (HMD) device is presented to replace the cumbersome large screens. Moreover, an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensor is mounted to the HMD for tracking the movement of the operator's head. These signals consequently change the virtual viewpoint of the virtual reality excavator. Simulation results were used to analyze the performance of the proposed system.
