dc.description.abstract This paper discusses an excavator simulator constructed to evaluate the effects of human-machine interfaces (HMIs) on operator productivity. Simulation allows for standardization of the machine and environment and is less time consuming and cheaper than implementing the controller on the machine. The simulator discussed in this paper includes a realistic graphical display that exceeds the current academic simulators, audio, and a new soil model that accounts for all possible trajectories of the bucket through the soil. Two coordinated control schemes were implemented on the simulator and preliminary tests were performed to demonstrate that the simulator can be used to evaluate HMIs. en_US
