In action - In forestry, as in other industries, there is an evolution from manual to mechanized labor and further on to automation. Autonomous forestry machines means, apart from the obviously lowered working costs, lower fuel consumption, easier logistics, less damage to the ground since a machine without a cabin can be reduced in size. The Wild-hog is a fully automated thinning and biomass harvester concept thought of for the year 2017.
One of the key advantages of making an unmanned forest machine is that size can be reduced. A reduced size and weight has as number of advantages, such as lower fuel consumtion, easier logistics and less damages to the ground.
