ROBOTIC LAWN MOWER

The Final Year Project course is designed for students to do research; design
and development work in each discipline, to produce practical solutions. It provides
opportunity for students to use the tools and techniques of problem-solving by
engagement of the project. Under proper guidance of supervisor, the students will
shape the direction in the field of interest as a preparation for approaching their
desired career path in the near future, as well as gain better understanding of the
responsibilities they have to shoulder when they undertake a project.
The objective of this project is to produce an automatic robotic lawn mover
which is able to cut grass of a specified area of flat land. The first approach to this
project is to conduct intensive literature reviews regarding the functions of robots and
robotic designs and programming. The Second phase of this project is implementation
of the theory to build a functioning robot.
The scope of the study would focus on the design and implementation of the
robot from scratch. The study is broken down into sub sections, which are electronic
circuits, movement mechanism and programming. These subsections are developed
and combined until the implementation of the workable robot.
In the discussion section, all findings would be discussed in more detail and
alternatives are compared as to assure the objectives are met during implementation.
