Abstract
A mowing robot includes a body which forms an outer shape and an internal space; a first wheel and a second wheel which are independently rotatably provided at a first side and a second side respectively so that the body can rotate and move forward with respect to ground; a first motor which provides a rotational force to the first wheel; a second motor which provides a rotational force to the second wheel; and a sensor which is provided in the internal space, has a gyro sensing function for at least horizontal rotation, and has a magnetic field sensing function, wherein the sensor is provided between a wheel front end plane and a wheel rear end plane, and is provided above a first motor upper end plane and a second motor upper end plane.
Claims20
A mowing robot comprising:
- a body that forms an outer shape and defines an internal space;
- a first wheel and a second wheel independently rotatably provided at a first lateral side and a second lateral side respectively such that the body is able to rotate and move forward with respect to ground;
- a first motor that provides a rotational force to the first wheel;
- a second motor that provides a rotational force to the second wheel;
- and
- a sensor provided in the internal space, the sensor having a gyro sensing function to sense at least a horizontal rotation, and a magnetic field sensing function,
- wherein a virtual wheel front end plane is vertically orientated and defined by a front end of the first wheel and a front end of the second wheel, a virtual wheel rear end plane is vertically orientated and defined by a rear end of the first wheel and a rear end of the second wheel, a virtual first motor upper end plane is horizontally orientated and defined by an upper end of the first motor, and a virtual second motor upper end plane is horizontally orientated and defined by an upper end of the second motor,
- wherein the sensor is arranged between the wheel front end plane and the wheel rear end plane, and is provided above the first motor upper end plane and the second motor upper end plane, and
- wherein the mowing robot further comprises a cover to which the sensor is fixed and that fully covers the sensor when viewed from the first motor and the second motor.
A mowing robot comprising:
- a body that forms an outer shape and defines an internal space;
- a first wheel provided at a first side of the body and a second wheel provided at a second side of the body, the first wheels being configured to rotate independently so that the body can rotate and move forward with respect to ground;
- a first motor that provides a rotational force to the first wheel;
- a second motor that provides a rotational force to the second wheel;
- and
- a sensor provided in the internal space, having a gyro sensing function for at least horizontal rotation, and having a magnetic field sensing function,
- wherein the sensor vertically overlaps with an area between the first wheel and the second wheel, and is provided higher than the first motor and the second motor, and
- wherein the mowing robot further comprises a cover to which the sensor is fixed and that fully covers the sensor when viewed from the first motor and the second motor.
