Abstract

This project presents a review of researches done on the subject of automated lawnmower. An autonomous lawnmower is a robot that can operate without or with minimal human control, self-propelled and guided automatically along a desired path. The benefits from such a system are useful for agriculture industry by reducing labor cost and time, as well as improving output efficiency by eliminating human errors. Many researches and inventions have been made, with the results ranging from successful, encouraging to some that are impractical for commercial implementation for certain reasons. These implements include sensor, machine vision, ultrasonic transmitter and as well as actuator and servo motor. In committed situations, robots can do and should do the job for us. Robots are not only used in outer space, but, there are many places on earth where it is too dangerous for man to work at like in the deep sea, nuclear plants or waste dumps. Hence, there is also a growing need for robots in supporting human beings in their daily life at home or at work [18]. These are also reasons for the limited workforce available in this sector. The operation of a lawn is a skill and labor intensive task and furthermore the shortage and aging workforce in agriculture results in a decrease of skilled machine operators. Therefore, the development of driverless lawn tractor is of commercial significance and societal importance.
