Researchers and students from KTH have been involved in the development of a new autonomous forest machine that picks up timber. They have both developed the software in the prototype called XT28 that is just being demonstrated in real life and developed a smaller model for test and development projects. Self driving forest machines are both more efficient than classic work vehicles and reduce the amount of ground damage.
