Robot for solar farms

This invention describes a robot designed to clean solar panels. It consists of a main body with a moving mechanism and an antenna, which sits directly on top of a solar panel assembly. The robot uses its moving device, which includes a motor, to travel across the panel's flat surface to perform cleaning.

Why it matters: Filed before the widespread availability of compact, low-cost sensor fusion and path planning algorithms for autonomous mobile robots. These advancements now simplify the development of the claimed moving device for precise panel navigation.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: ModerateCustom chassis, motor, antenna, control electronics
