I-Shovel is an autonomous robotic snow shovel that automatically detects the snow accumulation and clears the driveway. The device uses a built-in computer to control the shoveling process and various sensors to ascertain the perimeter.

The I-Shovel is designed to “wake up” and shovel snow whenever it senses a reasonable accumulation of snow so you can wake up to a cleared driveway.

The shoveling mechanism has a relatively low power consumption (operates on batteries) and no dangerous moving parts, enabling it to operate unattended or when kids are playing in the snow.
