Abstract
A shovel includes a lower traveling body, an upper turning body turnably mounted on the lower traveling body, an attachment attached to the upper turning body, and an attitude detection device (a boom angle sensor, an arm angle sensor, a bucket angle sensor, a machine attitude sensor, and a turning angle sensor), and a controller configured to calculate a target angle related to a working angle formed by a plane or a line determined based on a shape of a bucket included in the attachment and a target surface. The controller changes the target angle in accordance with the attitude of the attachment and information relating to the target surface.
