Recently, There is a growing interest in automation and remote control of construction machinery in order to reduce of labor costs and safety accident prevention. In particular, the excavators have been most used in earthmoving work and the research for remote control of excavators are being studied. This paper presents a method of unmanned excavation system based on robot manipulator which is easily mount on excavator levers and pedals. The unmanned excavation system is composed of lever control units, pedal control units and main controller which controls these units. The respective control units are designed to span the workspace of excavator’s levers and pedals. Experiments are implemented to verify the feasibility of the proposed methodology.
