This article presents a study on the world's first unmanned machine designed for
autonomous forestry operations. In response to the challenges associated with traditional …

Dynamic motion primitives (DMPs) is a motion planning method based on the concept of
teaching a robot how to move based on human demonstration. To this end, DMPs use a …

The mechanization of roundwood harvesting in Sweden has historically cut costs rapidly.
However, machinery and work methods have conceptually stayed the same since the …

Object detection and tracking are tasks that humans can perform effortlessly in most
environments. Humans can readily recognize individual trees in forests and maintain unique …

We explore multi-log grasping using reinforcement learning and virtual visual servoing for
automated forwarding in a simulated environment. Automation of forest processes is a major …

Within cut-to-length forwarding, a theoretical semi-autonomous teleoperation concept called
tele-extraction, with automation of crane work and teleoperation of driving, was modeled and …

Sažetak Prior tree marking is used to guide loggers or forest machine operators on which
trees to cut to achieve the desirable silvicultural quality of a thinning treatment. In the future …

The timber-harvesting industry is lagging its peer industries, such as mining and agriculture,
with respect to deployment of robotic, AI and autonomous technologies. In this paper, we …

The forest industry is constantly striving to increase productivity and cut costs, and many
research and innovation projects are currently focusing on semi-automated or autonomous …

The forest sector is a significant contributor to Swedish society but requires continuous
improvements in logging operations. Implementing innovations in operations is dependent …
