Many kinds of work machines based on hydraulic excavators have been developed for various work fields, e.g. demolition and industrial waste disposal. These work machines have also played an important role in the recovery work after disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods. We think that adapting these work machines to complex works will be expected in the near future. For this purpose, we developed a new type of work machine named ASTACO, which features two front arms and is based on 7-ton class hydraulic excavator. We also developed a new operating system for ASTACO that enables operators to handle the two front arms simultaneously through two controll devices. In this paper, we present an overview of ASTACO and its operating method. Because of the need to cope with global environmental problems, such as global warming and resource depletion, efforts to achieve the recycling society are becoming more important. In Japan, legislations requiring recycling in various industrial fields have been introduced. A lot of work machines based on hydraulic excavators therefore have been developed for various work fields like demolition and industrial waste disposal. These work machines have also played an important role in recovery work after disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods. Therefore, we think that adaptation of such machines to do more complex works will be expected in the near future. However, current work machines are mainly based on traditional excavators with a single front arm, and thus are difficult to do complex works. To achieve handling functions for complex works, a possible approach is giving a machine two front arms. We have developed a new type of work machine, a double-front work machine, that we have named ASTACO (Advanced System with Twin Arms for Complex Operations). In the following sections, we will first present the background leading to development of ASTACO, then will present the operation method, which is the most important factor in achieving complex works with the two front arms, and last, we will describe our field-testing of ASTACO.
