Abstract
A controller may obtain, from one or more sensors of an operator control of a work machine, sensor data collected from at least one hand of an operator using the operator control. The controller may determine, based on the sensor data, at least one of a physiological profile of the operator or an amount of time that the operator releases the operator control. The controller may cause, based on the at least one of the physiological profile of the operator or the amount of time that the operator releases the operator control, a limitation on a capability of a work implement of the work machine.
