AUTONOMOUS TRAVELING WORK APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18184891 titled 'AUTONOMOUS TRAVELING WORK APPARATUS

The abstract describes an autonomous traveling work apparatus with two work units, each equipped with a rotary blade assembly.

  • The first work unit has a rotary blade assembly oriented in a direction intersecting the horizontal plane.
  • The second work unit has a rotary blade assembly oriented in a direction intersecting the vertical plane, different from the first direction.
  • The rotary blade assemblies are positioned on one side of the vehicle body in the front-rear direction.

Original Abstract Submitted

An autonomous traveling work apparatus includes traveling wheels, a control unit, a first work unit, and a second work unit. The first work unit includes a first rotary blade assembly rotatably supported by a vehicle body, and the second work unit includes a second rotary blade assembly rotatably supported by the vehicle body. The rotation center of the first rotary blade assembly is oriented in a first direction intersecting the horizontal direction. The rotation center of the second rotary blade assembly is oriented in a second direction intersecting the vertical direction and different from the first direction. The first rotary blade assembly and the second rotary blade assembly are lined up in the front-rear direction of the vehicle body on one of a left side or a right side of the vehicle body.
