A machine includes a first cylinder coupled to a first wheel and a second cylinder coupled to a second wheel. A first proportional dampening valve fluidly connects to the first cylinder and a second proportional dampening valve fluidly connects to the second cylinder. First accumulators are fluidly connected to the first cylinder and the first proportional dampening valve, and second accumulator(s) are fluidly connected to the second cylinder and the second proportional dampening valve. Additionally, a first proportional flow control valve fluidly connects to the first cylinder and a second proportional flow control valve fluidly connected to the second cylinder. An electronic control module (ECM) communicatively couples to the first proportional flow control valve and the second proportional flow control valve to adjust a ride height of the first wheel via the first cylinder and a ride height of the second wheel via the second cylinder.

A system for delivering an article from a first location to a second location with a robot having a closeable transport container for housing the article during transport. A closeable recipient container is provided at the second location for receiving the article. At least one computer configured to navigate the robot over an outdoor transportation network between locations is provided. The robot has a robot article transport mechanism controlled by the at least one computer for removing the article from the transport container and the recipient container has a recipient article transport mechanism for moving the article inside the recipient container.

Described herein are sensor systems and methods for monitoring conditions of a gondola configured to hold harvested produce and be transported by a trailer. The sensor system can include a capacity sensor configured to determine a remaining capacity of the gondola. The sensor system can include a temperature sensor configured to monitor a temperature of the gondola, harvested produce, and/or an environment around the gondola. The sensor system can include a trailer location sensor configured to determine a global position of the gondola. A communication module in communication with the capacity sensor, the temperature sensor, and the trailer location sensor can transmit data from the capacity sensor, the temperature sensor, and the trailer location sensor to a remote computing system.

A captured image acquisition unit of a display control device according to the present invention acquires an image captured by an imaging device mounted on a loading vehicle. A loaded weight acquisition unit acquires a loaded weight measured by a weight scale mounted on a transport vehicle. A display image generation unit generates a display image obtained by disposing an image showing the loaded weight on the captured image. A display control unit outputs a display signal for displaying the display image to a display device.
