Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically controlling operation of an implement provided on a machine. A swing angle of an arm on which the implement is provided may be controlled by determining actual and desired swing angles, generating a swing angle error, and automatically operating actuators on the machine to align the implement along the desired swing angle. An effective radius of the implement assembly may similarly be controlled by determining actual and desired effective radii, generating a radius error, and automatically operating actuators on the machine to move the implement to the desired effective radius.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a training apparatus for providing different training levels to an operator of a machine. Known training systems are standalone training systems and separate from the machine. The training system is provided onboard the machine and allows for different training of the operator according to the operator's expertise.

Abstract: An implement pose control system and method is provided for a machine. The system and method include determining an actual implement pose having a first actual angle component relative to the first implement rotational axis and a second actual angle component relative to the second implement rotational axis. A desired implement pose may be determined that has first and second desired angle components relative to the first and second implement rotational axes. First and second axis errors may be determined, and the first and second actuators may be automatically operated in response to the error signals.
