Abstract
This paper presents the concept of a hybrid robotic lawnmower. The system components are considered with an emphasis on compatibility, and the goal is to properly select the components in order to achieve the functionality of the mower prototype. Cost analysis has shown that it is possible to design a prototype that is cheaper than commercial robotic lawnmowers for mowing larger areas. The principle of operation of differential drive configuration robots and basic model parameters are presented. Based on the selected components and drive configuration, the system design and construction of system parts were performed. For selected components, key energy transmission mechanisms have been constructed, consisting of a belt transmission for energy transmission to the reducer with a knife and the simultaneous start of the system generator, and a chain transmission of the differential configuration. In the prototyping phase of the robotic mower, the constructed parts enable the production and assembly of prototypes.
