1. A method for controlling of a dumping of a load of an earth moving machine, which has a conveying container configured for carrying the load, wherein the method comprises
accessing sensor data comprising
perception data capturing a conveying container surrounding and at least part of the conveying container and/or
machine sensing data providing a machine parameter that is indicative of a force exerted onto the earth moving machine in reaction to material in the conveying container and/or in reaction to an excavation process by the conveying container,
analyzing the sensor data to determine a material parameter or a set of different material parameters, the material parameter or the set of different material parameters providing information on an adhesive property of a current load of the conveying container,
selecting a dumping mode for unloading the conveying container out of different dumping modes based on the material parameter or the set of different material parameters, and
providing control data for maneuvering the conveying container according to the selected dumping mode.
