Abstract: A control system for a work vehicle, which includes a vehicle body and work equipment that is changeable in height and pitch with respect to the vehicle body, includes a controller. The controller determines a switching point by referring to target displacement data indicating a target displacement of the height of the work equipment according to a movement amount of the work vehicle from a work start position. The controller determines whether or not the work vehicle has reached the switching point based on the movement amount of the work vehicle from the work start position. The controller outputs a command to change the pitch of the work equipment upon determining that the work vehicle has reached the switching point.

Abstract: A controller determines that a signal from an operating device represents either a normal operation to manually control a blade or a trigger operation to automatically control the blade. The controller moves the blade so that the angle of the blade is changed in accordance with the operation of the operating device when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing a normal operation. The controller moves the blade until the angle of the blade reaches a predetermined target angle when the signal from the operating device is determined as representing the trigger operation while the bulldozer is traveling.

Abstract: An information processing system operable to effectively promote a conversation, including starting and activating a conversation between avatars in the virtual space, for example by generating a terminal output image showing a virtual space including an avatar associated with each user; outputting text information or voice information perceptible by each user together with the terminal output image based on a conversation-related input from each user associated with an avatar in the virtual space; specifying, for a conversation established between users based on the text information or the voice information, a theme of the conversation based on the conversation-related input; and performing theme information output processing for making theme information indicating the previously-specified theme of the conversation be included in the terminal output image.
