Abstract
A work machine includes: a multi-joint type work implement; a plurality of hydraulic actuators driving the work implement; an operation device outputting an operation signal to the plurality of hydraulic actuators; a storage section storing a target configuration defined by connecting a plurality of target surfaces; a control object surface selection section that in the case where a control point set at a claw tip of a bucket is under the target configuration, uses a target surface closest to the control point on the target configuration as a control object surface; and a target operation control section that controls the plurality of hydraulic actuators such that the operational range of the control point is limited to the control object surface and a region above the same in the case where an excavation operation is input from an operator via the operation device.
