Hitch-mounted robot systems

This is a robot designed to attach to a vehicle's trailer hitch. It has a special mechanism that automatically lifts the robot off the ground once it's connected to the hitch. The system also includes sensors to help guide the robot precisely into the hitch receiver, and the claims indicate it also has a way to move itself.

Why it matters: Significant advancements in computer vision and real-time robotic control since 2018 make autonomous hitch alignment and lifting more robust and cost-effective.

Status: ExpiredProtection ended and was never renewed
How hard to build: SpecializedAutomated lifting, precise sensor-guided alignment, robotic drive.
