Abstract
A system and method for providing guidance to a user of a construction machine include computing kinematic behavior of a construction machine based on data received from the construction machine while performing a task. The kinematic behavior is compared with a model for operating the construction machine for performing the task. Feedback data is sent to the construction machine based on the comparing to provide guidance to the user of the construction machine for performing the task.
Claims20
A computer processor implemented method for providing guidance to a user of a construction machine, comprising:
- computing kinematic behavior of a construction machine based on data received from the construction machine while performing a construction task;
- selecting one of a plurality of models for operating the construction machine based on an objective for performing the construction task, each of the plurality of models associated with a respective one of a plurality of objectives and defining parameters of the construction machine for performing the construction task in accordance with the respective objective;
- comparing the kinematic behavior with the parameters of the selected model;
- and
- sending feedback data to the construction machine based on the comparing to provide guidance to the user of the construction machine for performing the construction task.
An apparatus for providing guidance to a user of a construction machine, comprising:
