  • Dynamic stabilization and control of an earthmoving machine
    Patent number: 7317977
    Abstract: An earthmoving machine including a control system is disclosed. The machine comprises first and second satellite navigation antennas mounted in a longitudinal direction on the earthmoving machine. A third satellite navigation antenna is mounted on a pole attached to an operational element of the earthmoving machine. In one embodiment, the earthmoving machine is a bulldozer and the operational element is a blade of the bulldozer. The machine further comprises a gravity reference sensor and a plurality of gyroscopes mounted on the machine. A computer processor generates control signals based on sensor data received from the various components. The disclosed system and method allows for dynamically stable operation of the earthmoving machine at relatively fast speeds without the development of unwanted oscillations.
