Abstract
A work machine includes a lower traveling body, an upper swing body swingably mounted on the lower traveling body, a work device attached to the upper swing body, a hook attached to the distal end of the work device, an acquisition device configured to acquire information on the conveying destination of a suspended load to be suspended from the hook, and an imaging device attached to the upper swing body and configured to acquire image information related to a situation in an area in front of, behind, and beside the upper swing body. The situation includes the state of the suspended load. The work machine is configured to automatically convey the suspended load to the conveying destination by causing at least one of the lower traveling body, the upper swing body, and the work device to operate.
Claims18
A work machine comprising:
- a lower traveling body;
- an upper swing body swingably mounted on the lower traveling body;
- a work device attached to the upper swing body;
- a hook for suspending a load, the hook attached to a distal end of the work device;
- an acquisition device that acquires a destination of the load based on a position input by an operator;
- an imaging device attached to the upper swing body and configured to acquire image information related to a situation in an area in front of, behind, and beside the upper swing body, the situation including a state of the load;
- and
- a hardware processor configured to
- set the destination of the load based on the acquired destination, after the acquisition device acquires the destination,
- determine whether the load is conveyable to the destination by causing, among the lower traveling body, the upper swing body, and the work device, only the upper swing body, the work device, or a combination thereof to operate, and
- cause the work machine to automatically convey the load to the destination by causing only the upper swing body, the work device, or the combination thereof to operate in response to determining that the load is conveyable to the destination by causing only the upper swing body, the work device, or the combination thereof to operate.

An information processing device comprising:
- a communication device configured to:
- communicate with a work machine including a lower traveling body, an upper swing body swingably mounted on the lower traveling body, a work device attached to the upper swing body, a hook for suspending a load, the hook attached to a distal end of the work device, and an imaging device configured to capture an image of a situation in an area in front of, behind, and beside the upper swing body, the situation including a state of the load, and
- receive image information based on an output of the imaging device;
- a display device configured to display a current situation in an area surrounding the work machine based on the image information received by the communication device;
- an input device configured to receive, from an operator, a position designating a destination of the load;
- and
- a hardware processor configured to:
- set the destination of the load based on the received position, after the input device receives the position;
- determine whether the load is conveyable to the destination by causing, among the lower traveling body, the upper swing body, and the work device, only the upper swing body, the work device, or a combination thereof to operate, and
- cause the work machine to automatically convey the load to the destination by causing only the upper swing body, the work device, or the combination thereof to operate in response to determining that the load is conveyable to the destination by causing only the upper swing body, the work device, or the combination thereof to operate.

- a cabin in which an operator rides;
- and
- a display device installed in the cabin and configured to display a current situation in an area surrounding the work machine based on an output of the imaging device,
- wherein the work machine sets the destination of the load based on the acquired destination, after the acquisition device acquires the destination;
- wherein the work machine is configured to automatically convey the load to the destination by causing at least one of the lower traveling body, the upper swing body, and the work device to operate,
- wherein the acquisition device includes an input device installed in the cabin, the input device being configured to acquire the position by receiving an input from the operator on a screen displayed on the display device, the screen showing the current situation in the area surrounding the work machine, the input designating the destination, and
- wherein at least one candidate object of the load is extracted based on information output from the acquisition device, and the candidate object is displayed on a screen displayed on the display device, the screen showing a current situation in an area surrounding the work machine.
