| Abstract: | A land full of grass can be easily seen all over the world. For example, a golf course, a large playground, garden, waste plowed farmland and wild wasteland, all of above are full of grass. Almost all mowing work are operated by manpower, especially the long grass section. There have been some autonomous mowing robots for short grass up to now. However, there is almost no commodity for long grass mowing in the market. The main possible consideration may be the issue of safety. It is highly possible that a sharp mower blade may cause harm under the condition that the mower is not operated directly by a skilled person. In this paper, we will focus on the mechanism design for an autonomous mowing robot that can cut long grass safely. We will also outline the safety requirements for an autonomous mowing robot for long grass. |
