  2. 6. Semi-Automating Forestry Machines : Motion Planning, System Integration, and Human-Machine Interaction

    Author : Simon Westerberg; Anton S. Shiriaev; Klas Nilsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Forestry Robotics; Forest Machine Automation; Trajectory Planning; Hydraulic Manipulators; Teleoperation; Virtual Environments; Interaction Methods; Head Tracking;

    Abstract : The process of forest harvesting is highly mechanized in most industrialized countries, with felling and processing of trees performed by technologically advanced forestry machines. However, the maneuvering of the vehicles through the forest as well as the control of the on-board hydraulic boom crane is currently performed through continuous manual operation. READ MORE
