Abstract:
A autonomous robotic golf caddy which is capable of following a portable receiver at a pre-determined distance, and which is capable of sensing a potential impending collision with an object in its path and stop prior to said potential impending collision.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling movement of an autonomous golf caddy at a predetermined distance behind a golfer on a golf course, the method comprising:\n providing an autonomous golf caddy, said autonomous golf caddy including:\n a vehicle frame and a housing connected to said vehicle frame, said housing having a bag support and an electronic display, a rear surface of said bag support configured to support a portion of the golf bag when the golf bag is loaded on said housing, said electronic display configured to a) provide information to a golfer, b) provide information about said golf caddy, or a) and b); \n a processor system in communication with said tracking receiver system, said processor system configured to receive a signal from said tracking receiver system and to use such received signal from said tracking receiver system to determine a position of said remote transmitter relative to said golf caddy and to cause said golf caddy to move relative to the remote transmitter in accordance with instructions processed by said processor system; \n a drive mechanism connected to said vehicle frame, said drive mechanism configured to move said golf caddy; and, \n a collision avoidance arrangement in communication with said processor system, said collision avoidance arrangement including a plurality of sensors that are configured to detect objects about said golf caddy, said collision avoidance arrangement configured to send information to said processor system so that such information can be used to cause said golf caddy to avoid collision or contact with said detected objects; \n wherein said golf caddy is configured to move on a golf course and to avoid collision with objects on the golf course by use of said collision avoidance arrangement.
