| Abstract | This report presents design and development of an autonomous lawnmower which can be categorized under Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). Given the boundary points of the lawn using the Google Earth software, this lawnmower would travel from initial position to 1 st waypoint then turn 180 degrees and travel to the next waypoint backward and continues this process until the area under the boundary is mowed. Coordinates of the current position is taken from the GPS module attached to the lawnmower and the distance to the boundary point is calculated. Current heading of the lawnmower is given by the digital compass. Lawnmower is controlled using two DC gear motors. One motor runs in the maximum speed while the other one runs accordingly in order to travel straight. |
