Description

The autonomous Land Care Robot (LCR) is solar-electric and is a multi-purpose, heavy-duty robot. It can manually or autonomously mow, haul, groom, plough snow, spray, till, hoe and more. The LCR uses user-defined paths and work areas or visual cues to follow a person or peer machine and is controlled by a low-cost Raspberry Pi 4 computer. The LCR uses a low-cost combination of depth cameras, GPS and IMU and a topological probabilistic model to navigate in dynamic, structured and unstructured environments. The robot has a stainless steel, modular, field-repairable chassis and comes in various configurations (e.g. with tracks and 4WD).

Drive train type

Field repairable, chain-based drive train.

Characteristics

One hitch in the middle for precise work with perfect Solar powered, 2,000 kg lift capacity, 3,000+ kg tow capacity, 50-degree inclines (roll + pitch), Mechanical PTO, Electrical PTO, Inverter and more.

Navigation system

Day or night. Rain or Shine. Navigation tech is use-case specific and fuses data from one or more of GPS, RTK, Vision, LPS. Obstacle detection uses rangefinders (e.g., depth camera, lidar, sonar).
