Abstract :
Until now, most mowing work has been performed manually. However, manual mowing is quite laborious. Therefore, we have designed a robot that can reduce the amount of labor involved in mowing. In this paper, we present a mowing robot that can mow a patch of land adjacent to an obstacle such as a wall.
