| Summary: | The objective of this project is to design a mobile robot that capable to cut and
trim a flat grass area by itself. This small Autonomous Lawnmower is built with
hardware and software interfaces. The robot will follow the specific path or trail as
programmed. The mobile robot is using microcontroller PIC16F877 as the brain of the
robot. Besides that, limit switches will acts as sensors, and battery-powered electric
motors are used to build the robot. Generally, the robot control algorithm is designed
so that the robot is able to move forward by using the de motors. While walking along
the path of the robot moves, it will cut the grass. Then it will check if there are any
obstacles around it by using the limit switches sensors. When the sensors hit any
barrier such as tree trunks, vases it will alert the controller to change the direction of
the robot. This robot is very useful in the gardening maintenance purpose. It also
environmentally friendly, high quality of mowing, no need to collect the clippings, no
emissions, safe time and money. |
