The construction industry faces a labor shortage problem, so construction vehicles need to be automated. For automation, a position estimation method is expected that is independent of the work environment and can accurately estimate the position ...
Localization methods for autonomous construction vehicles include real-time kinematic positioning through a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and a scan matching with a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) attached to mobility. However, the...
We propose a remote joint impedance estimation system called Tele-snap for a rehabilitation diagnosis under the COVID-19 pandemic. Dynamic resistance of the human joint is essential physical information reflecting the motor function. The resistanc...
This study introduces expedite the complete transfer of distributed gravel piles with an automated wheel loader. The wheel loader scoops the gravel and unloads it onto the bed of a truck. The total mileage for the repeated scooping and unloading w...
