Lift and body displacement sensors

Figure 15: Lift sensors
Lift sensors are attached to the body of the robot at 4 points. If the robot touches a low object
which pushes the bodywork up or if someone tries to lift the body work, the lift sensors will
react. The robot will stop mowing and move backwards. If this movement frees the obstacle
from the body, the robot will perform a manoeuvre to avoid the object and continue mowing.
If not, after 10 seconds the robot will register an alarm and remain in safe mode (stationary)
until the obstacle is removed.
Coil
The induction coil detects the intensity of the magnetic field that is generated within the
peripheral wire. The maximum intensity is located on the wire which causes the robot to stop,
rotate and then continue mowing in a new direction.
