AUTONOMOUS LAWN MOWER AND A SYSTEM FOR NAVIGATING THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240049628 titled 'AUTONOMOUS LAWN MOWER AND A SYSTEM FOR NAVIGATING THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an autonomous lawn mower that includes a mower body with a motor to drive a cutting blade and propel the mower on an operating surface. The mower body also has a navigation system to assist a controller in controlling the mower within a predefined operating area. The navigation system includes an odometry module, a rotatable optical surveying module, a sonic obstacle detection module, a heat absorbing unit on the outer surface of the mower body, and a detachable docking module to receive the mower body.

  • The autonomous lawn mower is equipped with a motor to drive a cutting blade and propel the mower on the operating surface.
  • A navigation system is included to assist a controller in controlling the mower within a predefined operating area.
  • The navigation system consists of an odometry module, a rotatable optical surveying module, a sonic obstacle detection module, a heat absorbing unit, and a detachable docking module.
  • The odometry module helps in measuring the mower's movement and position.
  • The rotatable optical surveying module allows the mower to scan and map the operating area.
  • The sonic obstacle detection module helps the mower detect and avoid obstacles.
  • The heat absorbing unit is placed on the outer surface of the mower body to dissipate heat generated within the mower.
  • The detachable docking module is used to receive and store the mower body when not in use.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Residential lawn maintenance
  • Commercial landscaping services
  • Golf course maintenance
  • Park and recreational area maintenance

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Reduces the need for manual lawn mowing
  • Improves efficiency and accuracy in lawn maintenance
  • Minimizes the risk of accidents and damage to property
  • Provides consistent and uniform cutting results

Benefits of this technology:

  • Saves time and effort for homeowners and landscapers
  • Reduces labor costs for commercial lawn maintenance services
  • Enhances the overall appearance of lawns and landscapes
  • Increases safety by avoiding obstacles and potential hazards


Original Abstract Submitted

an autonomous lawn mower () comprises a mower body () having at least one motor () arranged to drive a cutting blade () and to propel the mower body () on an operating surface via a wheel arrangement. the mower body () includes a navigation system () arranged to assist a controller () to control the operation of the mower body () within the predefined operating area (). the navigation system includes an odometry module (), a rotatable optical surveying module (), a sonic obstacle detection module (), a heat absorbing unit set on the outer surface of the mower body () for directing the heat generated within the mower body towards the atmosphere, and a detachable docking module () arranged to receive the mower body ().
