Abstract
A shovel includes a lower traveling body, and an upper swiveling body mounted on the lower traveling body. The upper swiveling body is rotatable. An attachment is attached to the upper swiveling body. A traveling actuator is configured to drive the lower traveling body. An attachment actuator is configured to move the attachment. A control device is provided in the upper swiveling body. The control device is configured to autonomously operate at least one of the traveling actuator and the attachment actuator depending on an inclination of a ground on which the lower traveling body is traveling.
