Abstract:
A framework comprises a laser distance meter (LDM), reflector, and excavator comprising a boom, a stick, boom and stick sensors, implement, and a controller. The LA comprises a boom and stick defining LA positions. The LDM is configured to generate a D LDM  and θ INC  between the LDM and the reflector, and the controller is programmed to generate θ B  at a plurality of boom positions, generate θ S  at a plurality of stick positions, and calculate a height H and a distance D between a node on the stick and the LDM based on D LDM  and θ INC , build a set of H, D measurements and a corresponding set of θ B , θ S , and execute a linear least squares optimization process based on the H, D set and corresponding set of θ B , θ S  to determine and operate the excavator using L B  and L S .

Claim (Index 17):
An excavator calibration framework as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein:\n the excavator comprises a machine chassis and an excavating linkage assembly, the excavating linkage assembly comprising the excavator boom and the excavator stick that collectively define a plurality of linkage assembly positions comprising the plurality of boom positions and the plurality of stick positions, the excavating linkage assembly configured to swing with, or relative to, the machine chassis, the excavator stick configured to curl relative to the excavator boom; the optimization process is executed using the height H and distance D measurements and the corresponding set of boom measured angles \u03b8 B  and stick measured angles \u03b8 S  for n\u22121 linkage assembly positions; and the optimization process comprises a validation routine using height H and distance D measurements and corresponding boom and stick measured angles \u03b8 B , \u03b8 S  for a remaining linkage assembly position of the n linkage assembly positions.
