The age of technology, of development and implementation of modern concepts, has come with numerous benefits, such as the considerable reduction of residential activities of individuals, through numerous contemporary systems, such as: robot vacuum cleaner, smart house, automatic lawn mower. A lack of appropriate research and development of a range of prototypes for snow removal purposes is identified in the current market. In view of the above, it is proposed to initiate a concept on the design and realization of an experimental model of a robot capable of clearing snow. It is envisaged to equip it with a crawler system to avoid possible skidding and to develop a mechanism for snow removal, capable of allowing both raising-lowering and left-right tilting of the blade for clearing.
