Abstract :
This paper develops an optimal path planning scheme for autonomous lawnmowers, including the minimum working time, the minimum energy consumption mode and the mixed operation mode. A global positioning system (GPS) is equipped with the mowing path planning system which provides real-time position of the lawnmower. An algorithm for multitask operation is also presented.
