Automated Turf Management – Robotic Lawn Mower

Have a look at this high tech approach to cutting your lawn. Sanjiv Singh from the Robotic Institute is using technology that we have seen used in many of the DARPA Grand Challenge to cut grass!

"Approach
The first approach to obstacle detection is

color segmentation, which is the ability to distinguish obstacles based on color. We are developing a method that is robust to changes in color due to shadows and atmospheric conditions.

The second approach we are investigating is

stereo based homography, to detect objects which lie above the ground plane.

We are also using a

Sick^TM Laser scanner as a backup detection system, for instances where vision-based methods fail."

Looks like the platform is a typical mower but it is automated so that a driver is not required.
