AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT PLATFORM FOR SNOW CLEANING Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC E01H5/04 B25J9/16 B25J5/00 B25J19/02 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to robotic snow removal equipment and can be used for snow removal from streets, from pedestrian paths and sidewalks, as well as for cleaning of any other garbage, for example, tree leaves, in autumn time. Autonomous mobile robot platform for snow cleaning consists of self-propelled wheeled vehicle with accumulator, running motors and ladle. Platform comprises a control unit, a computer with internal memory, to which an ultrasonic location sensor, video cameras, encoders, reed relays are connected, and has a charging system, a computer vision system, infrared sensors and microcontrollers. In the robotic platform there are 9 autonomous motors, a program-electronic pattern recognition system. Wheels of the device operate in autonomous mode, and the maximum turning angle of each of the four wheels is 130 degrees.

EFFECT: invention provides improved manoeuvrability of the robot snowplower and its autonomous operation round the clock, in any terrain, in any weather conditions and changes in terrain or obstacles.
