<p>The invention concerns a system for picking up objects (2) over a delimited surface consisting of an automatic mobile machine equipped with a motor and a power source, for example a rechargeable battery (5), and provided with an onboard computer (40). The machine carries a mechanical device for gripping and storing (1, 2, 13) objects in a container (9), a device for emptying said container, a device for detecting the limits of the surface for picking up. The system further comprises at least a station (17) for discharging the objects picked up and preferably a station for recharging the rechargeable batteries. Both said stations are advantageously integrated to each other. The objects to be picked up are for instance balls (2) on golf ball practice greens which can automatically be returned from the unloading station to the driving site.</p> |
