KTH Mechatronics together with Skogforsk, Komatsu, SLU, LTU, UMIT, Unibap AB, eXtractor AB, BAE Hägglunds, Skogsteknisk klustret, Sveaskog, SCA, Holmen, Strora Enso, BillerudKorsnäs and Södra have been awarded a grant from Vinnova regarding autonomous forestry machines.
This Vinnova-funded autonomous terrain machinery project involves 15 partners, working towards a profitable and low-impact Swedish forestry for the future. The project will address key conditions for self-driving machinery, with the aim of starting a new wave of development that leads to improvements in the working environment of today's forest machine operators and ecological considerations for sustainable forestry.
