This smart snowblower automatically clears your driveway

A Korean company has developed a smart snowblower that automatically clears your driveway. This device can clear the snow automatically without the need for manual operation.

Korea-based company specializing in industrial robots and factory automation, Hanyang Robotics, developed this robot called Snowbot S1. This company produces innovative solutions with over 30 years of experience. 

Snowbot S1 has several unique features, such as autonomous operation, LiDAR sensors, remote control operation, and adjustable route settings. These unique features maximize the efficiency of snow cleaning in various circumstances. 

For a broad range of users, Snowbot S1 will be beneficial: facility managers, property owners, physically limited individuals, and winter service providers. 

How Snowbot S1 works?

In the place where the snow needs to be cleaned, users should place three ultra-wideband (UWB) radio beacon poles, and the fourth pole acts as a receiver. This setup will ensure accurate navigation.

Snowbot S1 receives signals from the poles and triangulates its positions. This will enable a clear route to remove snow and ensure the right location. 

Using the smartphone app, users can customize the route, and it can also be controlled by a remote controller. Snowbot S1 uses different tools to clear snow on various surfaces, such as a scraper for paved surfaces and a rotating brush for gravel surfaces to avoid potential damages. 

Core Benefits

Snowbot S1 reduces the physical efforts of the users, which will be beneficial for individuals with physical limitations. The autonomous feature saves the time of the users so they can utilize that time for other activities.

On a single charge, this device can remove snow up to 1500 square feet. Speed and power of Snowbot S1 accelerate the snow removal process. 

To sum it up, Korea-based company Hanyang Robotics has developed a smart snowblower that automatically clears your driveway. This innovation will be the best option for those who are looking for a simplified and enhanced snow removal process.
