Abstract
A smart mower includes a camera for collecting image data of the environment around the smart mower; an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for detecting pose data of the smart mower; a memory at least used for storing an application program for controlling the smart mower to work or travel; and a processor for calling the application program, fusing the image data collected by the camera and the pose data acquired by the IMU, performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) of the smart mower, and generating a navigation or mowing action instruction.
Claims8
A smart mower, comprising:
- a camera for collecting image data of an environment around the smart mower;
- an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for detecting a pose data of the smart mower;
- a memory storing an application program for controlling the smart mower to work or travel;
- a processor for calling the application program, fusing the image data collected by the camera and the pose data acquired by the IMU, performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) of the smart mower, and generating a navigation or mowing action instruction;
- and
- a global positioning system (GPS) sensor, wherein:
- (a) when all of the camera, the IMU, and the GPS sensor fail, traveling is stopped and a maintenance reminder is sent;
- (b) when two of the camera, the IMU, or the GPS sensor fail, a remaining one of the camera, the IMU, or the GPS sensor is used for positioning and navigation for a preset time;
- and
- (c) when only one of the camera, the IMU, or the GPS sensor fail, a remaining two of the camera, the IMU, or the GPS sensor are used for positioning and navigation.
