Invention type: Technology
/
Case number: #20188
Methods and systems related to operating an excavator during a digging cycle are described. In some embodiments, a nominal path of a bucket connected to one or more linkages of the excavator may be commanded. A correction to the commanded nominal path may be applied to maximize a power applied by at least one of the one or more linkages of the excavator during at least a portion of the digging cycle.
