Abstract:
An automatic cart for transporting golf clubs or other objects and accessories. The cart has at least one electric drive motor connected to at least one wheel of the cart, at least one electronic controller for controlling the motor, and a plurality of sensors peripherally disposed on the cart. The sensors are used to detect the presence of obstacles in the path of the cart and to sense the signals coming from an external signal source associated with the user. A microcomputer control unit analyses information from the sensors and coordinates movement of the cart so that it stays near the user.
