Method of automatic delay compensation for implement control with work machine

Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for automated self-correction of lookahead delay for working intermissions of at least one work implement associated with a work machine. During traverse by the work machine of a work area, one or more working conditions are determined and command generated to at least one actuator corresponding to a working intermission for an associated work implement or component thereof, wherein the generated command accounts for an estimated delay between initiation of the command and execution of at least part of the working intermission. An error value is ascertained based on a determined actual delay with respect to the estimated delay, and a modified delay is stored based on the ascertained error value as the estimated delay for subsequent working intermissions at least with respect to the determined one or more working conditions.
