The present disclosure provides a moving robot including a body which forms an appearance, a traveler which moves the body with respect to a traveling surface in a traveling area, a sensing unit which acquires environment information of the traveling area, and a controller which sets a parameter tailored to the traveling area according to the environment information and performs pattern traveling of the traveling area. Accordingly, even when information on an environment in which the moving robot is installed is not obtained from a manufacture in advance, the moving robot can directly obtain information on the corresponding environment and set an optimum parameter according to the environment to increase efficiency.

Calibrating and optimizing settings of power equipment devices are detailed throughout this disclosure. A mobile device application can be connected with a control device of a power equipment, and data pertaining to current environmental conditions (e.g., turf moisture), turf characteristics (e.g., type of grass, etc.) or machine parameters can be entered into the mobile device application and utilized for generating improved setting value(s). Also disclosed are algorithms for correlating these conditions, characteristics and parameters with adjustment data for adjusting machine settings to achieve a desired performance of a power equipment device.

A control lever of a working machine having a main operating frequency includes, a tube having a mass and a length extending from a first end to a second end. The tube defines a lumen extending from the second open end towards the first end of the tube. The control lever includes a rod having a predetermined mass and a length extending from a first end to a second end. The rod is fixed to the tube and is disposed in the lumen at a predetermined position with respect to the second end of the tube. In embodiments, the mass of the rod is determined based at least on the mass of the tube and the main operating frequency of the working machine, and the control lever has a natural frequency that is less than the main operating frequency of the working machine.

The present disclosure relates to a station apparatus, including an Ultra-wideband (UWB) module to receive a first UWB signal transmitted by a moving robot, and a control unit to calculate a reception angle of the first UWB signal upon the reception of the first UWB signal, and control the UWB module to transmit a second UWB signal, including a direction value determined based on the reception angle, to the moving robot for return of the moving robot.

A construction for a battery pack has: a temperature sensor with a sensor head, wherein the sensor head measures a temperature of at least one battery cell via a sensor element and a number of sensor cables contiguous to the sensor head; an assembly body, defining a head disposal region for disposing the sensor head and a cable disposal region contiguous to the head disposal region for disposing a cable portion of the number of sensor cables. The assembly body has a head securing element with a cable conduit. A conduit width of the cable conduit is larger than or equal to a cable width of the disposed cable portion and smaller than a head width of the disposed sensor head such that the head securing element is configured for securing in a form-fitting manner the sensor head disposed in the head disposal region in relation to a movement in the direction of the cable disposal region. The assembly body has a cable securing element. The cable securing element is configured for securing the sensor head disposed in the head disposal region in relation to a movement out of the head disposal region. A cell holder element and the assembly body together with the temperature sensor are configured for mechanically connecting to one another.

A lawn mowing apparatus may include sensors that are fastened to both its mower deck and its chassis. The sensors may sense a position of the mower deck in relation to the chassis. The sensed position of the mower deck may be presented to the operator via a dashboard display of the lawn tractor or transmitted via a wireless signal to another device. Based on such sensed position, an operator of the lawn tractor may manually adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable operating range. In some embodiments, servomotors may used to adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable range.

The application provides a multifunctional robotic device including a body, an energy unit installed in the body, a power unit powered by the energy unit, the power unit including an output shaft wherein the output shaft is located at the lower part of the body and exposed from the body, and at least two working units, the working unit is detachably connected to output shaft of the power unit and driven by the power unit.

Systems and methods may include an unmanned lawn mower that includes a predictive model service. The predictive model service may be trained by a machine learning system and may serve to autonomously control the unmanned lawn mower. In this way, the unmanned lawn mower may navigate throughout a lawn and may cut the lawn and/or perform other lawn maintenance procedures during the navigation. The system may also include a variety of sensors and cameras to detect image data and environmental data of an area surrounding the unmanned lawn mower. The image data and the environmental data may be provided to the predictive model service in order to control the operation of the unmanned lawn mower in real-time.

A method and system for fostering controlled growth of a turfgrass in a target area, includes: providing an autobot capable of automatically applying a UVC light treatment to the target grass area, wherein the target grass area comprises C4 turfgrass. The method and system includes coupling a UVC light subsystem to the autobot such that the UVC light subsystem is suspended above the C4 turfgrass within the target grass within a first predetermined range. Next, UVC light is generated by the UVC light subsystem with a wavelength within a second predetermined range. Subsequently, the UVC light is emitted from the UVC light subsystem to the C4 turfgrass at an intensity within a third predetermined range. And the UVC light is moved across the C4 turfgrass within the target grass area using the autobot at night at a speed within a fourth predetermined range.

A utility vehicle includes a frame, a first ground-engaging element coupled to a first portion of the frame, a second ground-engaging element coupled to a second portion of the frame, an operator platform supported by the frame, and a suspension system coupled between the operator platform and the frame to accommodate motion of the frame relative to the operator platform. The suspension system includes a first linkage assembly coupled to the operator platform and operable to accommodate motion of the second portion of the frame relative to the operator platform and a second linkage assembly having a first end coupled to the frame to secure the suspension system to the frame and a second end coupled to the first linkage assembly. The second linkage assembly being operable independent of the first linkage assembly to accommodate motion of the first portion of the frame relative to the operator platform.
