Abstract
A work machine identifies a commanded trajectory of a point-of-interest on a movable element. An analysis system determines whether a protected part of the work machine is along the trajectory of the point-of-interest and, if so, identifies an actuator that moves the point-of-interest along the commanded trajectory. A control signal is generated to selectively control the identified actuator to avoid contact between the point-of-interest and the protected part of the work machine.
