Autonomous Electric Lawn Mower

[boxtruck_camper]

Segway released a new model that looks cool. I'd link it, but I just joined so I'm pretty sure I can't post links yet. Look up "navimow".

A lot of autonomous lawn mowers just wander around, while this one is able to have boundaries set through your phone and then it follows a path to be efficient. I'm not a homeowner currently so I'm not going to get one soon, but I'd get one once I get a home. Lawn mowing is no fun.

Covid happened and they kicked us off campus and told us to stop working on it and just write the report on what we had. So we weren't allowed to finish. That was back when everybody thought they were going to die from covid and also a tornado took out a lot of the college kid neighborhoods so the dean told everyone to go home before spring break.

I will have to ask my old advisor what they did with it. I am assuming it will be recycled into another senior engineering project.

There's modules that plug into your R/C equipment on your, say, drone that have commands to do a preprogrammed return flight back to some point. Get some big servos and a steering mechanism or you could use skid steer.
