Abstract

A method and an apparatus for controlling an excavator are provided according to the embodiments. The method includes: determining, according to preset value ranges of trajectory parameters in at least two trajectory parameters, trajectory parameter value combinations, to obtain a first trajectory parameter value combination set; determining, from the first trajectory parameter value combination set, trajectory parameter value combinations for moving from a preset starting position to a preset end position, to obtain a second trajectory parameter value combination set; determining, in the second trajectory parameter value combination set, a trajectory parameter value combination that satisfies a preset excavation condition, to obtain a third trajectory parameter value combination set; determining a target excavation trajectory from the third trajectory parameter value combination set; and sending a control instruction to the excavator to enable the excavator to excavate material according to the target excavation trajectory.
