Abstract
A weeder robot includes a movable carrier and a blade module assembled to the movable carrier. The movable carrier includes a map creating module and a control module that is electrically coupled to the blade module and the map creating module. The map creating module includes an infrared unit and a vision sensing unit. The infrared unit can emit and receive an infrared light. The vision sensing unit can obtain an image information in a non-contact manner. The movable carrier can be used to move in a court, so that the map creating module can generate a three-dimensional (3D) court map through cooperation between the infrared unit and the vision sensing unit. When the weeder robot performs a maintenance process, the control module drives the blade module to weed a portion of a lawn higher than a predetermined height according to the 3D court map.
