Abstract
A method for controlling an automated drilling process on a work machine includes the steps of obtaining, from at least one input, data determining operations of the work machine; generating reference data based on the data determining previous operations of the work machine in substantially the same area; detecting a region of interest in the reference data; and controlling, in response to the work machine or its drilling process approaching a point corresponding to the region of interest in the reference data, the work machine to provide an operator with an option to manually assist the operations of the work machine at the point.
