Abstract :
Forestry machines are essentially four degree of freedom electrohydraulic telemanipulators equipped with specialised end-effectors for harvesting trees. In this paper, we describe forestry telemanipulation and then review the development of a computer-based training aid based on graphical simulation. To the best of our knowledge, our work here represents the first concentrated attempt at developing a system intended to become an integral part of forestry machine operator training
