Abstract
A sensor senses an attribute of a worksite at a location that is geographically spaced from a corresponding mobile machine. An operation is performed at the location, based upon the sensed attribute. An action signal is generated based on the effect data. An unmanned aerial vehicle communicates effect data, indicative of an effect of the operation at the location, to the mobile machine. The action signal can be used to control worksite operations.
