<p>Described herein are systems and method for reducing the probability of a collision between a first object, whose trajectory is substantially controlled by an operator input command, and a second object. In one embodiment such a method includes the steps of receiving an operator input command indicative of first control data; generating model data indicative of a virtual construct of the physical environment proximal the first object; processing the first control data to predict future dynamics of the first object in the environment; determining whether, on the basis of the predicted dynamics and the model data, the first object is predicted to collide with a second object in the environment; defining second control data for which the first object is not predicted to collide with the second object in the environment; and providing the second control data to a controller coupled to the first object such that the first object is controlled in accordance with the second control data for substantially avoiding the collision of the first object with the second object. In some embodiments, such systems or methods are implemented in respect of heavy machinery. For example, in one embodiment the first object is a shovel component of a shovel machine, and the second object might be another part of the machine (such as a dipper) or an object distinct from the machine.</p> |
