Snowmower Al Robot
Description
Background of The Invention
This invention relates lawn mower Al robot and snowplow Al robot. The
robot combinate both lawn mower and snowplow together.
Lawn (glass) mower and snowplow machine have be long known and widely
used, all machines have to be drive by manually, and most machine use gas
fuel or diesel fuel as power and some use AC power. Considered broadly,
whatever the lawn mower and snowplow machine how popularity and
commercial successes, there have to be instead of by a robot.
Some house floor cleaning robot have successful on market, but it not
useable on outside for some technical restriction and obstacle, particularly
on
opening, no-boundary area.
The invention possesses numerous benefits and advantages over known
lawn mower and snowplow. In particular, the invention utilizes Al robot to
save
and release manual and labor comprises the automatic pilot robot instead of
manually drive, moreover, the Al robot simulation and emulation work process
through the manual remote control and then optimal the work process by MCU
automatically. More advantage in the robot, rechargeable battery power
supplies a clear power that make home and street environment clear and quiet.
Summary of the Invention
The Al robot has multiple community module including blue tooth, WIFI,
wireless and infrared receiver that make the robot can be remote controlled
priority by smart phone APP, computer and wireless or infrared device. And
then the robot Artificial Intelligence on MCU to make decision work areas and
boundary, work route and work speed etc. Once the robot work in opening work
area by manual remote control initial active, the robot then automatically
works
in the area. a GPS navigate system and Lidar system with simultaneous
localization and mapping (SLAM) method to work on select open area and
identify the robot location. The MCU, process the GPS and Lidar system signal
and drive the DC motor.

Detailed of the description
In drawings which illustrate embodiments of the invention:
Figure 1 is an elevation partly in section A-A of one embodiment, Figure 2 is
a top view of this embodiment, and Figure 3 is the blade illustrate embodiment
to cut grass and blow snow , Figure 4 is the human-computer interaction
modules illustrate embodiment
1. the robot illustrated comprises a frame 10, which is to support and install
DC motor 20 and 50, universal wheel 90, MCU 60, rechargeable battery
130 and cover 120. DC motor 20 and drive wheel 30 assemble together
and there are two located each side as Fig.2; the universal wheel 90 has
two located each side too. Lidar system 110, image sensor 40 and avoid-
obstacle 80 install on cover 120, the blade attached to DC motor 50 that
spin and control by MCU.
2. The implement of illustrate embodiment of the invention comprise
human-computer interaction modules and devices.
3. MCU 60 comprises GPS navigator, blue tooth, WIFI, wireless and
infrared receiver module.
4. Implement of the illustrate embodiments of the invention may include
one or more of the following features. In some implement, the robot drive
by human-computer interaction priority, but moreover, the robot drive by
MCU.
5. Implement of the disclosure need to be initialize in a new work area
except the work are have physical boundary such as fence or drive way
curb etc. and then the robot uses avoid-obstacle 80 to automatic avoid-
obstacle;

6. if the work area is opening without physical boundary, in this case, there
are more implement human-computer interaction methods that
comprises smart phone, computer or wireless and infrared to initialize
and set up work area. The smart phone and computer may send GPS
coordinate to the robot with blue tooth and WIFI module,
7. in some example, more effective communication on the implement is
Artificial Intelligence(A1). At the initialize in a new work area, use smart
phone APP or computer directly command the MCU to drive robot
moving around the work area boundary or even real work on the whole
work area, then the MCU of the robot record all GPS coordinate, speed
and route, the robot Al should learn and know how to complete the
project, feature more, the robot can use Lidar System with SLAM
planning and optimize route.
8. The blade illustrate embodiment to cut grass and blow snow on Figure
3, On Figure 3 A, the blade work like fan blade that sweep floor and blow
up snow to side discharge 130. But on Figure 3 B, the blade turns 90
degrees and there is a sharp edge to cut grass.
9. In some example, the robot has color sensor to detect if snowing or snow
cleared. We have two color sensors 70,71 in drawings which illustrate
embodiments of the invention.
10.1n some implement, there is image sensor 40 on the robot, and the MCU
may share the image to remote device such as smart phone or computer
by WIFI and internet computer.
11. Another aspect of the disclosure provides three methods to starting and
operate the Al robot.
1). Timing start by MCU,
2). Remote starting by smart phone or computer and
3). Starting by Cloud Servers.
It will be apparent that various changes and modification can be made
without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the claims.
