AUTONOMOUS GROUND SURFACE TREATMENT SYSTEMS, VEHICLES, AND METHODS
An autonomous natural turf maintenance system comprising: a vehicle comprising a chassis supported upon a ground surface by ground support members; a container supported by the chassis, the container defining a discharge outlet operable to disperse treating material held within the container to a target area of the ground surface, wherein the target area comprises at least one of divots and ruts; a gate adapted to selectively open and close the discharge outlet; a sensor adapted to identify the target area; and an electronic controller supported by the chassis, the controller in communication with the sensor and the gate, wherein the controller is adapted to: position the chassis at a location proximate the target area such that the discharge outlet is capable of delivering the treating material to the target area; and energize the gate to open the discharge outlet. -38-
