Abstract

A shovel includes a traveling undercarriage, an upper turning structure, an attachment, an end attachment position detecting device, an object detecting device, and a processor. The upper turning structure is turnably mounted on the traveling undercarriage. The attachment is attached to the upper turning structure, and includes an end attachment at an end thereof. The end attachment position detecting device is configured to detect the position of the end attachment. The object detecting device is configured to detect the position of an object. The processor is configured to control the movement of at least one of the attachment and the upper turning structure, based on the relative positional relationship between the excavation completion position of the end attachment and the position of the object.

Dependent claims

A shovel comprising:

a traveling undercarriage;
an upper turning structure turnably mounted on the traveling undercarriage;
an attachment including a boom attached to the upper turning structure, an arm attached to the boom, and an end attachment attached to the arm;
an object detecting device configured to detect an object of detection in an area around the shovel;
and
a processor configured to calculate a relative positional relationship between a position at which the end attachment is located when excavation with the end attachment is completed and a position of the object of detection detected by the object detecting device, and generate a target along which the end attachment moves in air, based on the calculated relative positional relationship.
