It is thankful for golf courses to be attached to an existing lawn mower.
The golf course industry is now suffering from the labor shortage of the management department, such as green keys.A new system has been developed to become the savior.
The robotized system "Herbf" (Herbf), a robot system of golf course lawmowing, developed jointly by Professor Tadashi Hasegawa, Seibu Construction Co., Ltd., and Milite, a developed international program in Shibaura Engineering Corporation, and Milite.In fact, the unmanned automatic turf mower has been developed by two companies and has already been operated.One is a type that uses GPS and cuts the grass according to the recorded route.It was developed by Kyuieisha and is used in PGM -affiliated golf courses.The other is a lawn mowing robot with an autonomous driving system developed by Mamiya Opy.This is a type that is operated on a PC, which is also operating on the Orimpic series golf course.What is the difference between these two aircraft and the upcoming herbs? Ryo Kitamura of the Seibu Construction Planning Department says:"It's because you can buy it at a low cost. The reason is that herbs can be attached to the lawn mower already owned by the golf course. The installation experiment has been published and succeeded. However.The price is undecided. There is a new car for an automatic turf mower, but the only automation by retrofitting is this system. "In order to automate afterwards, it is necessary to control the lawn mower, but the program is applying for a patent."If you make an inexpensive automatic turf mower, it will be a gospel for golf courses," says Hideki Kikuchi, a golf course management consultant."The labor shortage of the golf course is serious. In the first place, golf courses are often inconvenient to access, and when it comes to outdoor jobs, it is difficult for young people to gather. The introduction of automatic turf mower will be solved.It is useful, and above all, it is great that you don't need workers' accident insurance. "From the October 12 issue of Weekly Golf Digest
