Owning a huge yard creates expensive landscaping bills for homeowners or hours invested landscaping themselves. A robotic lawn mower saves time and money as well as regular yard maintenance. Renesas offers all the major parts needed for a robotic lawn mower.
System Benefits:
- Single IC for BLDC motor control with integrated analog front-end (AFE)
- Feature-rich battery management system (BMS) for an up to 8 cells Li-ion battery with reliable safety features for cell balancing and protection
- Efficient battery charging in CV/CC profile
- Low Power consumption for longer battery life
- Rain detection using weatherproof humidity sensor and capacitive touch sensing unit (CTSU) for returning to a docking station for safe operation
- Collision detection using Time of Flight (ToF) sensors and lift/tilt detection using 6-axis IMU for stopping the blades, ensuring enhanced safety
- Docking station with integrated electronic fencing using perimeter wire and charging status monitoring
- Remote control and theft protection alarm using wireless/GPS connectivity
Target Applications:
- Robotic lawn mowers
- Autonomous mobile solutions for yard, home and warehouse
