Abstract
A measured value acquisition unit acquires measured values from a plurality of sensors. A position and posture calculation unit calculates a current posture of the work tool, based on the measured values. A target posture determination unit determines a virtual rotation axis, based on the calculated current posture of the work tool. A rotation amount calculation unit generates a control signal of the tilt rotator for rotating the work tool around the virtual rotation axis, based on the operation signal from an operation device. A control signal output unit outputs the generated control signal.
