Abstract
Over the Spring and Fall semesters of 2023, the team set out to design and produce an autonomous mowing robot, giving time back to the consumer that would otherwise be spent maintaining the height of their residential or commercial lawn. The unit remains conveniently docked in its docking station while not in operation. While the unit runs, it utilizes induction sensors to navigate within its set variable boundary and a bumper system to avoid obstacles. An emergency kill switch is included for emergency shutdown. All systems operate on the researchable 36V battery, easily connected to a standard household 120V outlet, resulting in easy integration into the residence.
