Research

My research area focuses on developing systems and software for controlling autonomous forestry machines, with a particular focus on performing autonomous planting of fast-growing broadleaf trees. I research what is required to carry out this process, which includes everything from predicting which tree species is best suited for the current vehicle position, to calculating a suitable path for the machine in off-road terrain.

My work is carried out within Trees For Me External link, opens in new window., a centre of excellence supported by the Swedish Energy Agency and almost 50 stakeholders.
