- Description:
- This article presents the development of a small, radio-controlled (RC) log skidder and also discusses the results of a preliminary investigation into using fuzzy logic for autonomous control of the skidder. Small skidders can reduce the environmental impact of logging and help improve timber stands. With previous small skidders, the operator walked in front of the skidder and reached back with one hand to operate the controls on a handle. The RC skidder allows the operator to be removed from the immediate vicinity of the skidder, thus making a safer operating environment. Field trials of the RC skidder were conducted and are discussed.
