The chassis are 3D printed and no boundary wire exists in this solution. They also cut the lawn systematically, 100% coverage each time, no more random behavior.
400 sqm takes about 1 hour 40 minutes.
Hi Carl, those are impressive machines. I especially like the systematic coverage. What techniques and technologies are you using for location and orientation sensing?
Excellent work! I’ve considered building a robo mower (I would call it a Yardba), but i was thinking more along the lines of having it follow simple rectangle/circle patterns while I take care of the rest with a regular mower. Your AI is far more impressive.
It is based on something called realtime-kinematics, it uses GPS satellites, but the precision is 2 cm, so it´s very accurate.
I´ve spent 3 years building this system, and right now it´s fully autonomous
Thanks! How do you implement the orientation element? Are you using fusion of magnetic, wheel position and gyro sensors or is there a significant GPS RTK element to your orientation calculations? Any details of your general sensor fusion approach you’d be able to share?
