  • Patent number: 11980956
    Abstract: A chainsaw includes a housing, a guide bar, projecting from the housing, and one or more handles. The guide bar has a main direction of extension defined by its center-line. The housing comprises an outer shell made of plastic, which has at least a first outer groove filled with a contrasting plastic material, wherein the groove at least partly extends straight in a transverse direction that deviates less than 3 degrees from a direction perpendicular to the main direction of extension of the guide bar. This provides an indication that facilitates precise and safe felling of trees.

  • Patent number: 11963478
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a self-propelled robotic work tool (1), e.g. an automatic robotic lawn mower, and a corresponding method. The robotic tool comprises an inertia measurement unit (IMU 15) which generally obtains (25) measured IMU parameters regarding the robotic working tool's movement. A prediction algorithm (17) predicts (27,36) required motor currents for driving the robotic work tool's wheels (5) based on the measured IMU parameters. The predicted motor current is compared (29,37) to the actual current used and the difference constitutes an error (19), which is used in a collision detection unit (21). If the collision detection unit (21) senses that the actually used motor current is much higher than the predicted current, a collision may be indicated (31).
