1. A method performed by one or more devices associated with a machine, the method comprising:
receiving target position data indicating a target position of an implement of the machine,
the target position being determined based on a previous target position of the implement and based on a target velocity that is determined based on operator control data indicating a position of an operator control associated with the machine;
determining a current position of the implement;
determining a difference between the current position and the target position;
determining, based on the difference, a command that causes the implement to move from the current position to the target position; and
providing the command to cause the implement to move from the current position to the target position.
