Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #6, we discuss the newly launched SingleTree project, which aims to create a digital value chain at the single-tree level. We also touch on Kelluu, which offers a new approach to aerial monitoring with autonomous airships! For the extended feature, we dive into various robots, like Tesla’s humanoid Optimus, Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, and the familiar robot Spot. Let’s be honest – it’s a rabbit hole, and we shouldn’t expect any of these technologies in forestry in the foreseeable future, but it was fun to explore nonetheless.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #5, we discuss the proposal for an additional 12 months of phasing-in time for the EUDR, and an interesting study examining the effects of spraying water vapour onto mature pine tree crowns to understand the impact of soil and air drought in the context of climate change. In our extended feature, we explore exoskeletons and their potential in forestry, covering both active and passive forms, their benefits, and the implications and opportunities of this technology.

Foresting Tomorrow is a weekly podcast hosted by Jens Isbak and Rasmus Pedersen. In episode #4, we continue our discussion on robots in forestry. This time, we talk about the AORO project: the world’s first AI harvesting machine. We discuss the progress of the project since it began in 2014, its current state, the technology used, and the safety concerns surrounding this exciting machine. We also cover an economic aid package of $145 million for small forest owners in the USA to support healthier forests, genetically engineered wood for enhanced carbon capture and resilience, and, last but not least, Stora Enso's amazing new wooden head office in Finland.
