Meet the future of home gardening and landscaping, brought to you by the Laboratory of Robotics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University of Ljubljana. We present a cutting-edge, track-driven robotic lawnmower designed specifically for steep and rugged terrains.
Traditional wheeled lawnmowers struggle on slopes over 35 degrees and on uneven terrain, but this innovative solution revolutionizes that. The lawnmower uses a rubber-track drive system, allowing it to confidently manage terrains with inclines exceeding 45 degrees. It is designed to handle large areas, spanning several thousand square meters, with terrain grip as the only limiting factor. Theoretical stability of the mobile platform is maintained at a steep 70-degree incline in any direction.
The robotic mower is a compact powerhouse with dimensions of 1050 x 900 x 245 mm and a weight of 100 kg. It features a 750 W BLDC motor powering the rubber tracks, providing a top speed of 2 m/s. The mowing is handled by two BLDC motors with three-bladed cutters, operating at 6000 revolutions per minute and powered by a 48 V, 40 Ah lithium-ion battery. The chassis of the mobile platform can be equipped with additional sensors and tools, providing flexibility for diverse applications.
The mower can be remotely controlled and is also upgradable for autonomous operation with GNSS RTK technology. Its compact yet robust design, along with advanced navigation technologies, ensures precision mowing while dramatically increasing efficiency.
This robust lawnmower is designed to make gardening tasks effortless, no matter the landscape. From large gardens with steep hills to rugged landscapes, the robotic lawnmower will handle it all.
The crawler-based platform can be equipped with additional sensors and tools for a variety of applications. These include agricultural land monitoring, weed control, crop harvesting, soil electrical conductivity measurements, and soil sampling for composition, characteristic, or nutrient content analysis.
Join us on this pioneering journey as we bring automation and precision to your garden. Experience effortless landscaping like never before with the track-driven robotic lawnmower.
