Many North American cities this winter may need equipment that helps to remove snow. This may be the reason why Colorado's Left Hand Robotics SnowBot Pro snow removal robot is currently sold out, which automatically sweeps the snow on the sidewalk while avoiding pedestrians.
Users first need to take the path collection tool (Path Collection Tool) to walk through the path they want the SnowBot robot to clean. This records the path as a series of GPS waypoints and uploads them to a cloud-based robotic operations center (ROC). The technology developed by Swift Navigation then converts GPS data into a "path program."
When SnowBot takes action, it accesses the ROC and downloads the program. An integrated inertial measurement unit (combined accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer) also helps to maintain proper orientation. If SnowBot's two LiDAR sensors and six cameras detect any obstacles in their path, the robot will automatically stop and then notify the ROC that the ROC will send an instruction to bypass the obstacle.
The actual snow removal is handled by the rotating front broom, and the front broom can be tilted to either side. An optional rear attachment can also be used for salting or deicing. Powered by the 37-horsepower Vanguard 61E petrol engine - SnowBot is definitely a more powerful device than the SuperDroid robot snow plow or SnowBYTE.
Users can monitor their progress in real time through the ROC dashboard or mobile app. They can also view before and after each snow removal photo, and the robot will automatically capture and record.
SnowBot Pro went on sale this winter (Northern Hemisphere) and is now sold out. The robot is priced at $35,995.
