Autonomous grass cutter part 1

This project aims to analyze the available robotic lawn mowers on the current market, pick up the essential functions from the analysis and eventually provide an autonomous solution to take over the grass-cutting task from the workers. The team set up the primary and secondary design requirements ba...
