Description

This project proposal describes the automation of a four steering wheel lawn mower robot called spider lawn mower SLM robot. The SLM faces four issues studied in this research: slippage conditions and cutting grass edge following, multi-mobile robot formation control, a body detection within the grass in front of the robots path and auto-repeating the same known tasks.

To this end, a mathematical model that takes into account the kinematics and dynamics of the SLM is proposed: state feedback linearization is designed as a control strategy to tackle the nonlinearities of the system, implemented and tested.
