A method for controlling an automated drilling process on a work machine includes the steps of obtaining, from at least one input, data determining operations of the work machine; generating reference data based on the data determining previous operations of the work machine in substantially the same area; detecting a region of interest in the reference data; and controlling, in response to the work machine or its drilling process approaching a point corresponding to the region of interest in the reference data, the work machine to provide an operator with an option to manually assist the operations of the work machine at the point.

Arrangement for controlling automated operation mode

A rock drilling apparatus and method for controlling the orientation of a feed beam of a rock drilling apparatus including a carrier, a drilling boom attached at a first end to the carrier, a feed beam attached turnably to a second end of the drilling boom, a drilling unit attached movably along the feed beam, and a support attached to the feed beam for supporting the drilling boom on the ground. The orientation of the boom and feed beam are adjusted to compensate for the orientation change caused by driving the support onto the ground.
