Lumberjack with artificial intelligence and a weight of 13 kg.

Japanese developers at Marutomi Seiko and Gifu University have developed a robot lumberjack, whose main task is to move through the tree trunk and trimming branches, the robot is equipped with "energy-efficient chain saw" and is able to adapt to the structure of the tree. Presumably, the device will be able to deliver people-loggers from dangerous work cutting heavy branches.

He is able to move up and down the trunks of trees with a diameter of from six to 25 centimeters. The speed of movement of the trunk is about 25 centimeters per minute. Feature of the robot is that by cutting of the branches he doesn't use the drive movement of the trunk, and held it under its own weight. The diameter of the trimmed branches should not exceed five centimeters.
