Abstract

The present invention relates to an intelligent interactive apparatus, system and method that aligns with property trimming and cutting tools such as pole saws, lawnmowers or unmanned aerial drones. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pole saw or autonomous lawnmower with attached functional accessories such as autonomously operated line trimmer or lawn edging devices operating on a 360 degree axis obtaining power and motion on a electro magnetic levitation system and having an attached imaging apparatus assembly that is linked to a display output device allowing for more intelligent and consistent tree, grass, and hedge views and overall control. The tree trimming imaging apparatus assembly of the present invention allows for an intelligent interactive system wherein the method used makes a user capable of a more accurate and safe tree, hedge, or property trimming experience. The present invention'"'"'s system is linked by superimposed design overlays giving augmented reality guidance, and an interactive imaging apparatus for an improved viewing method. The imaging device enables a more accurate tree, hedge or property grass trimming experience using an imaging and proximity sensors, and laser guided focal area that intelligently follows a grid mapping axis process using artificial intelligence algorithm and defect predictive analytics engine to reduce property maintenance trimming errors, safety risks, and difficulty.
