  • Publication number: 20230041186
    Abstract: A measurement device is configured to: calculate first contour data of a container in an empty state at a first time; calculate second contour data indicating a surface contour of an object at a second time in execution of a scooping operation by the container; rotate the second contour data, based on differential information indicating a difference between second posture data of a working gear 4 at the second time and first posture data of the working gear 4 at the first time; specify a region defined by supplemental contour data for supplementing the surface contour of the object contained in the container in the execution of the scooping operation, the rotated second contour data, and the first contour data; and calculate, based on the specified region, a first volume indicating a volume of the object contained in the container.

  • Publication number: 20220412056
    Abstract: A measurement device is configured to calculate, based on second measurement data provided by a distance detector, second contour data indicating a surface contour of an object contained in the container at a second time after a first time; calculate differential information indicating a difference between first posture data and second posture data which is posture data provided by a posture detector at the second time; rotate, based on the differential information, the second contour data in a three-dimensional coordinate space of the distance detector; and specify a region defined by the rotated second contour data and the first contour data, and calculate, based on the specified region, a volume of the object contained in the container at the second time.

  • Publication number: 20220316181
    Abstract: According to the remote operation system or a remote operation server 20 included in the remote operation system, a “communication resource allocation process” is performed according to the skill or the like of the operator to allocate communication resources to a plurality of remote operation devices 10. When the “environment information control process” is performed, a data amount of environment data is reduced such that a reduction in the information amount of one or a plurality of low environment information factors is greater than the reduction in the information amount of one or a plurality of high environment information factors (meaning the reduction in the information amount of the environment information due to a change in the environment information factor). The environment information control process is performed in different modes according to a difference in an allocation resource.

The environment information control process is performed by classifying the environment information factors into the high environment information factor and the low environment information factor according to a difference in the operation state.
