Classification: CPC E | IPC E

Claim 0:
1. A machine operating on a work surface, the machine comprising:
a boom member;
a feed assembly movably coupled to the boom member;
a work device coupled at a distal portion of the feed assembly;
a movable carrier coupled to the boom member, the movable carrier including a lower structure and an upper structure movably coupled with the lower structure, the upper structure is configured to pitch, roll, and yaw relative to the lower structure;
an actuator assembly adapted to move the upper structure relative to the lower structure;
a sensor module mounted on the machine, wherein the sensor module is configured to generate a first signal indicative of a first pitch angle of the machine relative to a non-inclined surface; and
a control module communicably coupled to the sensor module and the actuator assembly, wherein the control module is configured to:
receive the first signal indicative of the first pitch angle of the machine from the sensor module;
generate a second signal for controlling a movement of the actuator assembly based on the first signal; and
transmit the second signal to the actuator assembly in order to move the upper structure by a second pitch angle, such that a plane defined by an operator cabin of the machine is substantially parallel to the non-inclined surface, wherein the second pitch angle is opposite in direction to the first pitch angle.
