Design and realization of visual wireless autonomous lawn mower based on machine vision

In order to solve the problem of the traditional intelligent mower, which cannot cover the lawn area and operate complexly, a visual, wireless, autonomous mower system via machine vision is designed. Firstly, collect the image information of locale dynamically by the real-time camera which erected on the high bracket, and display on the monitor of PC, then draw a few mowing range or mowing patterns of mower by mouse in the host computer software. Secondly, the host computer software analysis the data. Finally, convey the action signal to the actions required lawn mower to finish the mowing task. The experimental results show a high level of automation from the proposed lawn proposed lawn mower system, which has the function of avoiding obstacle automatically and covering the target lawn area completely.
