Abstract: Provided is a remote operation system for surveying instruments, capable of making surveying instruments execute a necessary operation even when communication with a management server fails. The remote operation system for surveying instruments includes at least one master surveying instrument, a management server, and a remote terminal, configured to communicate with each other via a first communication network, and at least one slave surveying instrument configured to communicate with the master surveying instrument via a second communication network, wherein the management server transmits a first operation command to make the slave surveying instrument execute a first predetermined operation to the master surveying instrument, the master surveying instrument transmits the operation command to the slave surveying instrument, and the master surveying instrument transmits a second operation command to make the slave surveying instrument execute a second predetermined operation to the slave surveying instrument when communication with the management server fails.

Abstract: Provided is a survey assistance system including a measuring instrument; an eyewear display device including a display; and at least one processor configured to synchronize a coordinate space of the eyewear display device, a coordinate space of the measuring instrument, and a coordinate space of an absolute coordinate system and displays an image in the absolute coordinate system created by the processor on the display with superimposing the image on a site landscape. The processor is configured to read out survey process data, create a work assistance image based on the survey process data, and enable observation of the work assistance image including the instrument installation points and images of the surveying instrument to be used showing installed states at the instrument installation points by superimposing the work assistance image on the site landscape.

Abstract: A survey system is provided which includes a surveying instrument capable of performing distance and angle measurements of a target attached to a pole, a controller as a glove-shaped wearable device to be worn on a hand of a worker, and configured to transmit commands to the surveying instrument from an input unit for inputting commands, and an eyewear device capable of performing display superimposed on a landscape. Measurement points are displayed by being synchronized with and superimposed on a landscape of a survey site on the eyewear device, and by inputting a command by a worker from the glove-shaped controller that the worker wears into the surveying instrument while the worker grips the pole, distance and angle measurements of the target are made. Unnecessary turning of gaze and hand movements are omitted, and a survey work can be efficiently performed by the worker alone.

Abstract: Provided is a hammering test system. A hammering test system includes a hammering test device including a target, a traveling mechanism for automatically traveling on a to-be-tested surface, a marking mechanism configured to perform marking on the to-be-tested surface, an adsorbing mechanism for adsorbing to the to-be-tested surface, and a hammering test mechanism configured to conduct a hammering test on the to-be-tested surface, and a surveying instrument capable of performing automatic tracking and distance and angle measurements of the target. A hammering test is conducted by causing the hammering test device to travel to a desired position while adsorbing to a to-be-tested surface by the adsorbing mechanism. When it is determined that there is an abnormality, a marking is marked on the to-be-tested surface. The surveying instrument automatically tracks the target, and when conducting a hammering test, makes distance and angle measurements of the target.
