Development of an Autonomous Lawn Mower: Project Overview and Timeline

This document outlines the project for developing a fully autonomous lawn mower designed to operate in a 10 by 15 meter yard. Led by a team of engineering students, it includes roles such as Project Manager, Robotics, and Frame Researcher. The project utilizes GPS, sensors, and electric motor technology to navigate obstacles. Key components required include ultrasonic sensors, infrared kits, and a lawn mower base. The total projected cost is approximately $400, significantly lower than the market price of $4,780. The timeline features key milestones over several weeks, from verification of parts to programming completion.
