Abstract
An intuitive control system for lifting equipment is described. The intuitive control system translates user defined inputs into machine expressions of movement that are in turn used to control a construction lift or similar piece of construction equipment. Orientation and relative position sensors may be incorporated into the translation and control system for correct user control of the lifting equipment in various operating conditions.
Claims20
An intuitive control system for construction lift equipment comprising:
- a construction lift comprising an axis sensor, an axis actuator, an environmental sensor, and a control request function;
- a logic interpreter operatively coupled to the control request function of the construction lift and comprising system logic, user logic, machine logic, safety logic, a kinematic model and coordinate transformation logic;
- and
- a user controller operatively coupled to the logic interpreter and comprising a user interface device, an orientation sensor, and a user feedback device.
