Visual simulation of machine concepts for forest biomass harvesting

Abstract

We present work-in-progress of applying simulator technology for developing, demonstrating and evaluating new machine concepts and work methods in off-road environments. In particular we consider a new concept machine for making efficient biomass harvesting in the process of thinning in dense forest stands and we describe how this machine concept is realized in a virtual environment and plan for simulator experiments.

Keywords
