Golf course autonomous mobile robot

A mobile robot comprising:

• a chassis;
• a tractive element coupled to the chassis;
• a driveline coupled to the chassis and configured to drive the tractive element to propel the mobile robot;
• a control system communicably coupled to the driveline;
• a platform assembly removably coupled to the chassis, the platform assembly defining an occupant riding area;
• a hitch receiver coupled to the chassis, wherein the platform assembly includes a protrusion configured to slidably engage with the hitch receiver to releasably couple the platform assembly to the chassis;
• a battery supported by the chassis, wherein the hitch receiver and the protrusion facilitate power transfer from the battery to the platform assembly to charge the controller;
• and
• a controller removably coupled to the platform assembly and communicably coupled to the control system, the controller configured to:
• receive an input from a user of the controller;
• and
• transmit the input to the control system;
• wherein the control system is configured to operate the driveline based on the input.
