Abstract
A method for controlling a lift assembly for a work vehicle may include receiving an input command associated with controlling movement of a loader arm of the lift assembly, and determining a travel velocity at which a reference location on the loader arm is to be moved based on the input command. In addition, the method may include determining at least one lift cylinder command and at least one control cylinder command based at least in part on the determined travel velocity and position-based inputs associated with moving the reference location along a predetermined travel path, and actively controlling an operation of a lift cylinder and a control cylinder of the lift assembly based on the lift cylinder command(s) and the control cylinder command(s), respectively, such that the reference location on the loader arm is moved along the predetermined travel path at the determined travel velocity.
