Zusammenfassung:	A work machine includes a frame, a blade, a sensor assembly, and an ultrasonic sensor. The frame includes a first portion and a second portion configured to pivot with respect to the first portion for steering the work machine. The blade is attached to the second portion of the frame. The sensor assembly is positioned on the work machine and configured to sense data for detection of obstacles within a first area around the work machine. The ultrasonic sensor is attached to the second portion of the frame and is configured to sense data for detection of obstacles within a second area around the work machine, the second area outside the first area when the second portion is in an articulated position with respect to the first portion.
