Design an Autonomous Excavation System for Hydraulic Excavators

Shortages of skilled labor,extensive dangerous work,and technological advances are forcing rapid change in the construction industry, thus motivating construction automation,research and development of unmanned execution technologies for use to enhance safety has been undertaken.This paper presents an outline of research and development concerning automation of hydraulic excavator performed by applying a 3D vision system,3D information control system, a safety system, a 3D measurement system,and an operator interface communication system.As a result of the verification of the excavation motion suggest the technical possibility of achieving autonomous robotic excavation in moving toward construction automation.
