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 8):
An autonomous golf caddy, said autonomous golf caddy including:\n a golf caddy having a vehicle frame and a housing connected to said vehicle frame; said housing having a bag support and one or more features selected from the group consisting of i) an electronic display configured to a) provide information to a golfer, b) provide information about said golf caddy, or a) and b); ii) a smart device charger configured to charge a smart device, and iii) a smart device communication arrangement configured to communicate with a smart device located remotely from said golf caddy; 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; a guidance system, said guidance system including one or more sensors selected from the group consisting of an ultra-wide band bandwidth sensor, camera, Bluetooth\u00ae sensor, RF-based sensor, ultrasonic sensor, WiFi sensor, LIDAR sensor, GPS sensor, LORAN sensor, smart device sensor, lateral sensor, gradient sensor and GSM sensor; a processor system in communication with said guidance system, said processor system configured to receive a signal from said guidance system and to use such received signal from said guidance system to cause said golf caddy to perform one or more functions selected from the group consisting of a) avoiding collision or contact with the golfer during movement of said golf caddy, b) avoiding collision or contact with an object during movement of said golf caddy, c) avoiding movement to an undesired or restricted location, and d) moving to a particular golf hole, staging area, charging area, storage area, or some combination thereof; and, a drive mechanism connected to said vehicle frame, said drive mechanism configured to move said golf caddy.
