Kodama builds remote and autonomous control systems for heavy forestry equipment so logging crews can operate skidders more safely and efficiently from off-site.
Forestry contractors struggle to recruit and retain reliable operators for remote, physically punishing jobs, leaving expensive skidders idle when a worker misses a shift; Kodama's supervised-autonomy and teleoperation approach is designed to improve safety, labor flexibility, and machine utilization. The company says its deployed machines moved more than 100,000 tons of timber in six months and that its latest $7 million financing brings total funding to $14 million, backing a data-compounding push to expand commercial deployments, OEM partnerships, and autonomy for complex off-road forestry.
