  • Patent number: 11835643
    Abstract: A work machine control method includes: acquiring a detection position of a landmark detected by a non-contact sensor provided in a work machine in traveling of the work machine traveling on a traveling path; calculating a first relative distance between the non-contact sensor and the landmark on a basis of the detection position of the landmark; calculating a second relative distance between the non-contact sensor and the landmark on a basis of a registration position of the landmark; calculating a correction value relating to a relative distance between the non-contact sensor and the landmark on a basis of the first relative distance and the second relative distance; correcting the first relative distance on a basis of the correction value to calculate a corrected relative distance between the non-contact sensor and the landmark; and controlling a traveling state of the work machine on a basis of the corrected relative distance.

  • Patent number: 10202116
    Abstract: A control system of a mining machine controls a driving device that drives a traveling device of the mining machine. The control system includes an acceleration command value calculation unit that calculates an acceleration command value for accelerating the mining machine, a correction value calculation unit that calculates a correction value for the acceleration command value based on a first driving force component of the driving device to cause the mining machine to travel at a target traveling speed and a second driving force component of the driving device to offset a resistance component against traveling of the mining machine, an addition processing unit that calculates a correction acceleration command value by adding the acceleration command value and the correction value, and an acceleration command value output unit that outputs the correction acceleration command value to the driving device.
