Abstract: A controller for a work machine is configured to, upon a swing operation being performed, identify the starting position of the movement of the tip of the arm, and a collision avoidance position between that position and the side part of the vessel; and calculate a lower limit value that becomes larger as it gets closer to the collision avoidance position and becomes a collision avoidance height at the collision avoidance position, within the range from the starting position of the movement to the collision avoidance position. The controller, while the swinging body is in motion, is configured to invalidate the operation of the arm and control the movement of the boom and the swinging body so that the height of the tip of the arm does not fall below the lower limit value. The controller is configured to enable the operation of the arm when the tip of the arm exceeds the collision avoidance position.

Abstract: The posture of a work machine is computed on the basis of posture information about the work machine output from a posture measurement device. A loading area which is an area where a transporting machine stops and where loading work by the work machine to load the transporting machine is performed is set. On the basis of the posture of the work machine, it is assessed whether or not the work machine can sense, with an external environment measurement device, the transporting machine having stopped in the loading area. When it is assessed that the work machine can sense the transporting machine, the transporting machine is sensed on the basis of measurement information output from the external environment measurement device. Accordingly, it is possible to more accurately sense the position of the vessel of the stopped transporting machine and to appropriately assist loading work by the work machine.

Abstract: Operations of an upper swing structure and a front work device are controlled such that a swing operation of the upper swing structure starts after a work tool starts only a lifting operation. The lifting operation and the swing operation are performed until the work tool reaches a height position of a passing position and only the swing operation is performed after the work tool reaches the height position of the passing position. The swing operation of the upper swing structure starts to decelerate at a swing deceleration start position, and only the swing operation is performed until the work tool reaches a swing position of the passing position to pass through the passing position. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the discomfort feeling of an operator while realizing interference prevention at the time of a loading operation and a stop during the loading operation.
