A system and method for measuring material swell of material loaded in a dump vehicle using a work machine that includes a frame, an engine, a ground engaging element, a working mechanism and an imaging device. The imaging device provided on the work machine identifies the dump vehicle at a landscape site, and scans the site and the dump vehicle continuously using continuous 3D mapping. The imaging device scans continuously during operation of the work machine as the work machine removes a load of material from the bank of landscape or site with the working mechanism and transfers the load into the dump vehicle. The imaging device calculates the bank volume of the load removed from the site and the excavated volume of the load transferred in the dump vehicle to determine the material swell of the load as the work machine operates.

A computer-implemented robot pickup method including receiving a request from a user to pick up an article at a first location. A robot having a closeable transport container is navigated to the first location. The robot opens the closeable transport container and moves the article inside the closeable transport container at the first location, and navigates over an outdoor transportation network from the first location to the second location to deliver the article to the second location.

Provided is a dump truck capable of performing an actuation test of an emergency brake system at an appropriate timing. The dump truck comprises: front wheel and rear wheel emergency brake systems, each system including an accumulator that accumulates hydraulic oil supplied from a hydraulic pump, a brake device that is actuated by the hydraulic oil supplied from the accumulator, and a solenoid valve that opens and closes a flow path of the hydraulic oil extending from the accumulator to the brake device; and a controller configured to execute front test processing and rear test processing alternately (step S16/step S18) in the case of determining that the dump truck is stopped (step S11: Yes), a vessel is in a fallen position (step S12: YES), and a loading operation onto the vessel is completed (step S15: Yes/step S17: Yes).
