1. A computer-implemented method for extending a range of a physical sensor comprising:

  • receiving a physical output value from a physical sensor;

    receiving a virtual output value from a virtual sensor;

    determining a trust level of the physical sensor based on the physical output value;

    determining that the trust level of the physical sensor is below a first threshold trust value; and

    controlling a machine based on the virtual output value responsive to determining that the trust level of the physical sensor is below the first threshold trust value.
