  • Publication number: 20240142139
    Abstract: A solar panel system includes solar tracking and dual locking hinges. A solar panel assembly may be connected to a base via a linear actuator, actuator arm, and lever arm, which in connection of either of the two locking hinges acting as an axis of rotation, form a toggle joint mechanism for tilting the solar panel assembly to a desired angle in a desired direction. The desired angle may be automatically determined using solar tracking algorithms using data from light sensors, or may be controlled manually by a user. The locking hinges may include electromagnetic locks, which may lock the associated hinge to the base when energized, and unlock the associated hinge when de-energized. To tilt the solar panel assembly in one of two directions, one hinge is locked and the other unlocked, allowing the unlocked end to move upward to achieve the desired tilt angle.

  • Patent number: 11971719
    Abstract: Low profile object detection can be performed on mowers or other vehicles that may be autonomous. An autonomy controller can be employed on a mower to receive and process sensor data for a detection area to determine whether an object may be present in a region of interest within the detection area. When the autonomy controller determines that an object may be present, it can cause the ground speed of the mower to be slowed and can commence buffering region of interest sensor data over a period of time. The autonomy controller can process the buffered region of interest sensor data to determine whether an object is present in the region of interest, and if so, can alter the path of the mower appropriately.
