Excavator Dynamics and Effect of Soil on Digging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automation of excavation work calls for a robotic system able to perform the planned digging work, and responsive to interaction forces experienced during excavation. The development of automated excavation control method requires a dynamic model to describe the evolution of the excavator motion with time. The joint torques of the boom mechanism are generated by hydraulic rams which also affect the torques at other joints. A Newton-Euler formulation is applied to derive a dynamic model for an excavator in this paper. Secondly, for determining the soil resistance the effect of soil on digging is described. Combining these equations makes it possible to design a control method for an excavator.

Dynamics of Mini Hydraulic Backhoe Excavator: A Lagrange-Euler (L-E) Approach
Excavators are high power machines used in the mining, agricultural and construction industry whose principal functions are digging (material removing), ground leveling and material transport operations. During the digging task there are certain unknown forces exerted by the bucket on the soil and the digging operation is repetitive in nature. Automation of the digging task can be performed by ...
متن کاملMulti-Resolution Planning for Earthmoving
We suggest that planning for automated earthmoving operations such as digging a foundation or leveling a mound of soil, be treated at multiple levels. In a system that we have developed, a coarse-level planner is used to tessellate the volume to be excavated into smaller pieces that are sequenced in order to complete the task efficiently. Each of the smaller volumes is treated with a refined pl...
متن کاملCutting and Impedance Model of Soil- Excavator Interaction
The present work considers a double wedge soil cutting model, suitable to describe the soil-tool interaction in automated digging processes. This one or a similar model will be the base to reach a set of equations by which to fit online typical soil and tool parameters, instead to fit these parameters by time consuming autoregressive methods. The final aim is to reach a predictor of soil-tool i...
متن کاملIncreasing Productivity for Autonomous Mass Excavation A Thesis Proposal
This research focuses on the problem of increasing productivity for the task of autonomous mass excavation. Autonomous excavation has the benefits of higher productivity, lower labor costs, increased safety, and the ability to work in hazardous environments. Mass excavation involves rapidly loading trucks with soil/rock/ore using a mobile digging machine with a bucket on an arm-like appendage. ...
متن کاملModels for Automated Earthmoving
We present a composite forward model of the mechanics of an excavator backhoe digging in soil. This model is used to predict the trajectories developed by a closed-loop force based control scheme given initial conditions, some of which can be controlled (excavator control parameters), some directly measured (shape of the terrain), and some estimated (soil properties). Since soil conditions can ...
