A Survey of Automation in Excavation
Journal Article, Journal of the Mining and Materials Processing Institute of Japan, Vol. 112, No. 8, pp. 497 - 504, August, 1996
Abstract
A recent trend towards greater automation of earth-moving machines such as dozers, loaders and backhoes reflects a larger movement in the construction industry to improve efficiency. This document reviews related work in various disciplines drawn upon by researchers-soil mechanics, computer graphics, remote sensing/control, kinematics of machines, dynamics, statistics, optimization and decision theory. In conclusion, this paper examines various automated excavators and classifies them by their level of autonomy.
