New forest harvesting technology revealed in Nelson, New Zealand, sets its sights on further increasing safety in steep land harvesting operations. The new teleoperation technology prov…

Recent developments in on-board technology have enabled automatic collection of follow-up data on forwarder work. The objective of this study was to obtain highly representative informa…

Most modern cut-to-length (CTL) machines used in forest harvesting have on-board computers that capture individual tree data and can also be coupled with global navigation satellite syst…

While we hear a lot about self-driving cars, a future with autonomous trucks could be a reality a lot sooner than we thought – and lead to a major shake up of the transportation industry. …

Eco Concrete Ideas, an architectural concrete manufacturer, has used paper 3D printing technology to develop Morpheus, a two-meter concrete bench cast in a mold made from 4,000 layers of re…

For the first time, scientists have been successful in measuring the processes by which an entire forest “breathes”. A team led by Richard Wehr and Scott Saleska at the Universi…

Imagine being able to accurately predict where forest fires might strike — even in the most remote locations — using freely accessible data from a NASA satellite. This is the work of Quazi Hass…
