Project Title:
No Mow Maintenance: The Self-Piloted Lawn Mower
Project Description (provided by group):
Design, implement, and test a prototype automatic pilot for a personal lawn mower. The prototype must successfully simulate the action of mowing a lawn while avoiding obstacles in its path. After initial startup, it should be completely autonomous, capable of "mowing" the lawn without user intervention. Furthermore, the prototype should be able to handle terrains of various grades and should be capable of turning itself off upon successful completion of "mowing" the lawn.
