KnightMow: Remote Control Lawnmower Kit

Discipline: MAE

Advisor: Tian Tian

Having to maintain the lawn of homes is not only time consuming but is also physically demanding. Residents of single-family homes run into this issue and often do not have the desire to mow their lawns nor the means to hire a landscaper to do it for them. This project, Robo-Mower, aims to convert a standard, low-cost lawn mower into a remote-controlled system with an AI camera safety system that allows homeowners and tenants to operate their lawn mower from inside the home. It is intended to be sold as a generic kit that can turn any lawnmower into a remote controlled one with future plans for adding autonomy. The system will allow minimum manual labor/interaction for tasks including start-up, shutdown, and challenging navigation, saving the user exertion, time, and money.
