AGRARSENSE

Important results from the project

The Forest Use Case aimed to boost environmental awareness, reduce CO2, and enhance efficiency in forest operations. Komatsu developed auto steering with human detection, route optimization tools to lower soil damage, and systems to assess stem quality. RISE delivered combined safety and cybersecurity risk assessment methods and validation toolchains. Oryx and partners created simulated environments for AI training, while GuideLine Geo used GPR sensors to classify ground conditions for planning.

Expected long term effects

Project advancements are set to change future forest management, offering accurate operational data for more sustainable and customized practices. Ultimately, autonomous operations aim to enhance environmental care and operator conditions. Tree quality detection is crucial for measuring forest assets in the EU forestry industry, enabling higher yields by using the resources better. Greater precision in forestry operations improves asset tracking and ground-based inventories.

Approach and implementation

External support has had a positive impact on project coordination, which is especially significant with over 50 participating organizations. The project was carried out according to plan, and the Swedish participants fulfilled their commitments well. Some international issues were identified, but overall the project is considered very successful and all participants express satisfaction with the results. To facilitate final reporting, a technical extension of the project was introduced.
