Abstract
A work machine includes a main frame and a work implement, which includes a first end movably coupled to the main frame and a second end distal to the main frame. A joint assembly is coupled to the work implement's second end and a working tool is associated with the joint assembly. The joint assembly actuates the working tool between first and second working tool positions along an operating trajectory. The joint assembly includes a curl joint, a tilt joint; and a swivel structure. A work machine includes one or more processors to determine the first position of the working tool, to determine an active operating trajectory, to calculate a curl velocity and a tilt velocity such that the two velocities combine to move the working tool along the active operating trajectory, and to control the joint assembly to move the working tool according to the calculated velocities.
