| Summary: | The present invention generally relates to controlling a work implement. More particularly, the invention relates to a unified control system for controlling the motion of a work implement such as a bucket coupled to a work vehicle such as a backhoe or an excavator.
A control system for a backhoe apparatus is disclosed. Backhoe apparatus control system includes a kinematic optimal control including the augmentation of additional tasks that can be formulated into the optimal control problem. Further, the control system may include a dynamic adaptive control that accounts for the backhoe linkage dynamics. Still further, the control system is configured to control the flow of hydraulic fluid into and out of the hydraulic actuators. |
