Design of an Intelligent Robotic Excavator Based on Binocular Visual Recognition Technique

Research on intelligent and robotic excavator has become a focus both at home and abroad, and this type of excavator becomes more and more important in application. In this paper, we developed a control system which can make the intelligent robotic excavator perform excavating operation autonomously. It can recognize the excavating targets by itself, program the operation automatically based on the original parameter, and finish all the tasks. Experimental results indicate the validity in real-time performance and precision of the control system. The intelligent robotic excavator can remarkably ease the labor intensity and enhance the working efficiency.
