Robotics for agriculture and forestry (A&F) represents the ultimate application of one of our
society's latest and most advanced innovations to its most ancient and important industries …

Working with forestry machines requires a great deal of training to be sufficiently skilled to
operate forestry cranes. In view of this, it would be desirable within the forestry industry to …

Forest machines are used in many tasks and come in various designs. They can be used for
cutting down trees, collecting logs and in different forest cleaning operations. Currently, in …

Semi-autonomous operation with shared control between the human operator and control
computer has been developed and examined for a large-scale manipulator for grip** and …

This paper addresses the energy-inefficiency problem of four-degrees-of-freedom (4-DOF)
hydraulic manipulators through redundancy resolution in robotic closed-loop controlled …

Virtual environment-assisted teleoperation has great potential as a human-robot interaction
paradigm for field robotic systems, in particular when combined with elements of automation …

Accurate vehicle localization in forest environments is still an unresolved problem. Global
navigation satellite systems (GNSS) have well known limitations in dense forest, and have to …

In conventional mechanized cut-to-length systems, a harvester fells and cuts trees into logs
that are stored on the ground until a forwarder picks them up and carries them to landing …

Model‐based methods are used in industry for prototy** concepts based on mathematical
models. With our forest industry partners, we have established a model‐based workflow for …

To increase mechanized planting, planting machine productivity must increase in order to
improve cost-efficiency. To determine if excavators with two crane arms could potentially …
