Abstract: A tool device, such as a lawnmower, or a steerable-wheel assembly therefor may include a frame, a walking element, a drive motor, and a steerable-wheel assembly (SWA). The walking element may be coupled to the frame. The drive motor may selectively power the walking element. The SWA may be attached to the frame apart from the walking element. The SWA may include a caster connector pivotably mounted to the frame to rotate about a pivot axis, a steerable wheel rotatably coupled to the caster connector, a primary drive gear, a primary driven gear, and a secondary driven gear.

Abstract: Lawn maintenance devices and tracking systems and methods for lawn maintenance devices are provided. A lawn maintenance device includes a frame; a wheel supporting the frame, wherein the wheel comprises: a body defining a central axis about which the body is rotatable; and a detectable element radially offset from the central axis; a detector that detects a relative position of the detectable element; and control circuitry that receives information from the detector and determines a position of the wheel based on the received information, the information associated with the detected relative position of the detectable element.
