The National Institute of Forest Science has drawn attention with an artificial intelligence (AI)-equipped forestry robot that can enhance forestry productivity. The Korea Forest Service's National Institute of Forest Science held a 'Demonstration of Timber Harvesting Work Using Remote Control and Autonomous Driving Technologies for Forestry Robots' on the 2nd at the Forest Science Research Experimental Forest in Gwangneung, Seoul. This on-site demonstration was prepared to evaluate the field applicability and stability of an AI deep learning-based autonomous driving forestry robot developed through a disaster and disaster resolution research project in the forest sector, and to gather opinions from forestry experts from the Forest Service, academia, and industry. The vehicle-type forestry robot demonstrated at the event is capable of remote autonomous driving and can implement remote control by establishing an independent 5G communication network even in mountainous terrain with ...
