ABSTRACT:
A method for controlling movement of a work tool includes the step of identifying a predefined digging boundary and determining the current position of the work tool. A control signal is generated to change the position of the work tool. A requested motion vector is determined for the work tool based on the control signal. A determined force is generated to apply to the work tool. It is based on the requested motion vector and has a normal component that is scaled to prevent the work tool from crossing the predefined digging boundary. One aspect is directed to a control system for a work tool on a work implement assembly.
