  • Patent number: 10973168
    Abstract: A green area maintenance system includes an autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot having a treatment tool and a cutting tool differing from the treatment tool. The robot and the cutting tool are configured to allow fixing of the cutting tool to the robot. The system includes a user control device, and has an autonomous operation mode and a cutting operation mode. In the autonomous operation mode the autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot with its treatment tool operates autonomously and the cutting tool is set out of operation, and in the cutting operation mode the cutting tool is fixed to the green area maintenance robot and operable. The robot with its treatment tool and cutting tool are controlled by a user via the user control device, and an operation mode switching device for switching between the autonomous operation mode and the cutting operation mode.

  • Patent number: 10681863
    Abstract: A autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot, includes: a first motor-driven treatment tool, a second motor-driven treatment tool differing from the first treatment tool, and an open protective housing with a lateral rim. The first treatment tool defines a first treatment zone and is arranged within the protective housing such that the first treatment zone is located in a safety zone of the protective housing. The safety zone has a safety distance to the lateral rim. The second treatment tool defines a second treatment zone, wherein the second treatment zone is located at least partially beyond the safety zone. The autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot has an autonomous operation mode, wherein in the autonomous operation mode, a maximum kinetic energy of the second motor-driven treatment tool is smaller than a maximum kinetic energy of the first motor-driven treatment tool.
