Methods and systems for dynamic geofencing

An apparatus for automated geofencing on machines, comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors electronically coupled to the memory and configured for:
• creating a geofence around a machine operating within a worksite environment, wherein the geofence dynamically changes while the machine moves;
• generating a machine command to control the machine remotely from a virtual control location;
• performing a scan of the worksite environment around the machine;
• determining obstacles in the worksite environment are outside the geofence of the machine;
• and
• operating the machine within the geofence from the virtual control location.
