While the east coast of the U.S. was covered in a thick blanket of snow this year, a robotics expert was in locked in his lab building an remote control snowblower. So instead of having to go out in the cold to uncover his driveway, he can now sit comfortably in his home watch his robot do the work for him. Brilliant!
The “RoBo Blower” operates on both battery and gas power. The battery supplies power to the electronics and two powerful DC motors that are capable of moving in excess of 500 pounds. The Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine drives only the 30″ wide cutting blade, so it uses very little fuel.
