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 27):
A method for controlling movement of an autonomous golf caddy 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 one or more of an electronic display, a smart charger and/or a smart device communication arrangement, 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 smart device charger configured to a) charge a smart device, b) enable said smart device to receive data from said golf caddy, and/or c) enable said smart device to send data to said golf caddy; said smart device communication arrangement configured to communicate with a smart device located remotely from said golf caddy, said electronic display configured to a) provide information to a user, b) provide information about said golf caddy, c) allow the user to enter information, d) allow program information to be entered for operation of the golf caddy, and/or e) allow setting information to be entered for operation of the golf caddy; \n a drive mechanism connected to said vehicle frame, said drive mechanism configured to move said golf caddy; and, \n a collision avoidance/navigation arrangement in communication with a processor system, said collision avoidance/navigation arrangement including a plurality of sensors that are configured to detect objects about said golf caddy, said collision avoidance/navigation 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/navigation arrangement.
