Work machines, drive assemblies for work machines, and methods of measuring torque of a driven component of a work machine are disclosed herein. A work machine includes a frame structure, a rotational power source supported by the frame structure, and a driven component supported by the frame structure that is coupled to the rotational power source to receive rotational power therefrom in use of the work machine. The driven component extends between a first end and a second end arranged opposite the first end. Additionally, the work machine includes a first encoder system coupled to the first end of the driven component, a second encoder system coupled to the second end of the driven component, and a control system supported by the frame structure that includes a controller communicatively coupled to the first encoder system and the second encoder system.

A system for setting a target trajectory of an attachment allows for an efficient operation of the attachment. The system includes a target trajectory setting unit which sets a target trajectory of a specific part of an attachment between a target start point at which an operation for moving the attachment holding a load extracted from a work object to above an object to be loaded is started and a target end point at which this operation is finished, an imaging device which images the surroundings of a work machine including the object to be loaded as ambient information, an end point moving unit which moves the target end point based on the ambient information, and a target trajectory resetting unit which resets the target trajectory between the target start point and a target end point after movement.
