Electrical sensor design and arrangement for controlling lawn mower used for cutting grass, have sensors steering utility robot towards regions with vegetation covering and causing robot to shorten vegetation covering by cutting unit
Sensoranordnung zur Detektion von Bewuchs, vorzugsum Kürzen des Bewuchses. Die Sensoranordnung und das Schneidwerk sind an einem autonom fahrenden Nutzroboter, vorzugsweise eines Rasenmähers, montiert.The design and arrangement have electrical sensors (1) including a conductive surface. The sensors steer a utility robot towards regions with a vegetation covering (2) i.e. grass, and cause the robot to shorten the vegetation covering by a cutting unit (4). Electrons flow through the sensor during contact with the vegetation covering such that availability of the vegetation covering is detected. A current flow through the sensor, the vegetation covering, an electrical energy source (5) and a ground region (6) takes place by a drive unit (7) of the robot.
