  • Publication number: 20240044102
    Abstract: A target locus of an attachment is determined while a calculation load for generating the target locus of the attachment is suppressed. A controller is configured to set a position of an arm distal end at a time when a contact detector detects contact of a bucket distal end with an excavation object at a start point of an arm distal end target locus. The controller is configured to receive information about a form of the arm distal end target locus in advance. The controller is configured to set a position for a finish point on the basis of an angle of a surface of the excavation object, an intersection angle between the arm distal end target locus and the surface of the excavation object, information about the form of the arm distal end target locus, and an offset amount about the finish point of the arm distal end target locus.

  • Publication number: 20230407594
    Abstract: A contact of an attachment with an obstacle is suppressed, and concurrently, a wasteful motion of the attachment is suppressed. When determining that an obstacle specific portion exists between a start point and an end point, a controller sets an avoidance path as a target path. The avoidance path is a path along which an attachment specific portion moves from the start point to the end point while the attachment is led to an avoidance operation of avoiding the obstacle. When determining that the obstacle specific portion does not exist between the start point and the end point, the controller sets a non-avoidance path as the target path. The non-avoidance path is a path along which the attachment specific portion moves from the start point to the end point while the attachment is not led to the avoidance operation.

  • Patent number: 10499868
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, an X-ray diagnostic apparatus includes an imaging apparatus, processing circuitry and permission input circuitry. The imaging apparatus includes an imaging system performing X-ray imaging of an object, and a bed on which the object is placed. The processing circuitry accepts an instruction to cause the imaging apparatus to perform a operation, and notifies a content of the operation relating to the accepted instruction to a first user. The permission input circuitry accepts information indicating permission of the operation from the first user who has confirmed the content of the operation. The processing circuitry causes the imaging apparatus to perform the operation to more severely restrict the operation compared with after acceptance of information indicating permission of the operation by the permission input circuitry, until the acceptance of information indicating permission of the operation by the permission input circuitry.
