Autonomous lawnmower operating with perception-based localization
MSA co-developed a fully autonomous lawnmower shown operating with perception-based localization. Lidar, camera, IMU, and wheel encoder data are used to build a map of the perimeter of the mow site. The mower then fills in the mow site with rows driven to cm-level accuracy, leaving no "mow-hawks" of uncut grass. Calibration Anywhere is used to calibrate sensors, and Pose Engine is used for localization.
