摘要

In the current context of technological advancement and the growing need to improve working conditions and personal safety, the automation of traditional mechanical equipment has become increasingly important. Seasonal maintenance equipment represents a category in which direct human involvement remains predominant, despite the fact that working conditions are often difficult, hazardous, or physically demanding. This paper proposes a solution for converting such equipment to electric propulsion, focusing on a common and reliable model often found in household settings. The advantages of this transformation stem from improved maneuverability - electric propulsion being independently applied to each wheel of the machine - as well as the variety of available control methods. The ultimate objective of the conversion is to transform this equipment into a system capable of performing snow removal operations without requiring the operator’s direct physical presence.
