This book addresses all aspects of artificial perception in forest environments, including localization, mapping, traversability analysis, semantic segmentation, metric-semantic mapping, scene understanding, and multi-robot architectures. Forests are among the most complex and challenging environments for robotic perception. They are dynamic, unstructured, and unpredictable, with variable weather and lighting conditions, dense canopy, rough terrain, and unreliable GNSS signals. These conditions have delayed the large-scale introduction of autonomous systems into forestry, despite the clear potential for robotics to transform tasks such as landscape maintenance, wildfire prevention, tree health monitoring, and precision harvesting.
Recent Advances in Robotic Perception for Forestry explores innovative developments that aim to bridge this gap. It addresses advances in sensing, perception, and learning and how they enable autonomous ground, aerial, and manipulator systems to operate effectively in forested landscapes.
Forestry robotics is an emerging field at the intersection of automation, AI, and sustainable land management. Tasks that are often dangerous or physically demanding for humans can, in many cases, be reliably perceived and executed by robots. This book discusses current technologies, ongoing research, and future directions in areas such as multi-sensor fusion, robust navigation, environmental monitoring, and precision forestry.
Featuring contributions from leading researchers, this book offers both foundational insights and practical solutions. It is designed for academics, engineers, and industry professionals interested in applying robotic perception to real-world forestry problems, pushing the frontier of sustainable automation in one of the most demanding domains for robotics.

About the Author
David Portugal holds a M.Sc. degree (2009) in Electrical Engineering and Computers and a Ph.D. (2014) in Automation and Robotics from the University of Coimbra (UC), Portugal. His main research interests include artificial perception, localization and mapping, sensor fusion, distributed multi-robot systems, robot software architectures, and hardware integration for mobile robots. Over the course of his career, he has developed deep expertise in these areas, combining academic research with applied innovation. Currently, Dr. Portugal is an assistant professor at the University of Coimbra and a Senior Researcher at the Institute of Systems and Robotics of the University of Coimbra (ISR-UC). He has played an active role in numerous European and national research projects, including CHOPIN, TIRAMISU, Social Robot, CogniWin, GrowMeUp, STOP, CORE, SEMFIRE, WoW, 5GSmartFact, TRUSTID, Packaging of the Future, AIGreenBots, ForestSphere, and RUGGED. These projects span the areas of applied robotics, human-robot interaction, sensor fusion.
