The systems integration portion of this project ended up presenting much more of a challenge than I originally expected. It definitely took longer than expected but I also learned a lot. I hope you guys enjoy the video. Let me know any thoughts or ideas you have in the comments.

Actually, I was wonder why no (internet ,wifi)remote mower!
There are many "weekend farmer", if we can mower the grass through internet, that be cool
RC control, however is not reasonable, to be a weekend farmer we dont have too much time on mower the grass
Try reducing the resolution/colors of the video. Indoors is very simple contrasts, outdoors video produces a wide spectrum of colors which is less compressible.
This is amazing!! Great job! I've been thinking about doing something like this and this is really inspiring. I like your video editing btw, I'm excited to go check out some of your other vids.
Your video would be much enhanced if the lawnmower were moving about in an apparently deliberate manner.
Absolutely amazing. Maybe you could do a collaboration with Michael Reeves? đ
Let's add it to our open source microtractor – https://wiki.opensourceecology.org/wiki/MicroTrac_v17.10
What are of all the differnt technologies that you have to learn. You ve got microcontrollers, wireless communication, software, 3D printing.
Ive worked in many factories and and a machine shop. It seems so much more interesting being the one to come up with designs and figure out ways to make differnt things. I would like to see people get back to making everything themselves and trading and selling with eachother and do away with big corporations. Everything small business . i was gonna say local but it wouldn't have to be local but it would be good to have a community of makers of all things, especially if(or when) society breaks down. I want to learn how to grow all my own foods, make my own vitamins, supplements, even my clothes. That would be alot to learn. Anyway really impressive.
Wow. That is amazing. I want to learn how to do stuff like this. So much went into that. How did you create the software to control the mower. How long does it take to go from knowing nothing to be able to be know all the different components. Just started getting into the maker culture. I want to learn so much.
This video deserves way more attention! Awesome work man. In the interest of views, definitely use that red button for some kind of click-baity hook like âI Put A Machine Gun Turret on My Autonomous Lawn Mowerâ or something ridiculous in your next segment. Good stuff! Look forward to seeing more!
What program language are guys using? đŹ
Awesome job. I am trying to do something similar with a zero turn.
Thatâs awesome! Can you e mail me? Iâm building similar, and have a few questions! E mail is the same as my name here, @gmail
Amazing . Im impressed with your knowledge.
Install APM 2.5 to automate route with control points.
Youâre going places man. As an electronics engineer myself, a lot of this approach and thinking is used in industry. Youâre really smart and you can do both electronic and mechanical work. Good job!
Keep going the video telemetry latency can be rectified
Line of sight is a good start
Have you thought a using mission planner
Excellent project! Subscribed to see what else you come up with! Ive wanted to do something similar for a while. Have you ever played with any late model quadcoptors? Most quads have all the sensors you added plus sonar and multiple cameras used for guidance and obstacle avoidance. From my understanding the quads are based on arduino and have very robust 2.4 and 5ghz bands with impressive range. Ive flown mine 3 miles before starting to lose the camera feed.
Id be curious if you could cobble a late model quad to your relays and servo/motor controllers and add in some proximity sensors, sonar, cameras etc to have feedback needed to autonomize.
Very Nice, looks cool
Cool project. You might be able to use RTKlib together with a GPS received on your base station to do more accurate position fixes. With a stationary GPS receiver and a mobile receiver you can correct some position errors and theoretically achieve 1-2 cm accuracy. You might be able to execute a waypoint mission with this level of accuracy.
Really impressive! Great job and good progress working on project. Michael, what is the next goal? Fully (or partially) autonomous tractor with lawn mower? Sounds pretty interesting…
P.S. Came here from your post on FB, at "Arduino Academy" group
This is a very awesome project!
I'm currently working on something similar.
It reminds me a lot of this project:

I also wanted to use a Rasperry together with motion for the live video. But the lags are just too slow for that. Perhaps a correct fpv solution is better.
That red button on the joystick is begging to be used as a nitro boost
Fall is here my dudes.
