Abstract
The objective of this paper is to design and implement a lawnmower robot that can be used to mow grass from lawns and playgrounds remotely, online, or autonomously. The robot follows a rectangle zigzag trajectory through the lawn without any human interference. A set of concurrently running behaviors are defined to perform mowing operation. Sonar ranging is used to detect and avoid obstacles continuously throughout the route. The micro-controller connects to an ethernet board and uploads the robot's functions to a web server. Through the web server, users can monitor a 3D model of the moving rover and data from the lawnmower sensors. In addition, the robot's behaviors and connections are uploaded to IoT analytics platform to aid the performance evaluation and feature development.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications and Networking (IJITN) examines timely and important telecommunications and networking issues, problems, and solutions from a multidimensional, interdisciplinary perspective for researchers and practitioners. IJITN emphasizes the cross-disciplinary viewpoints of electrical engineering, computer science, information technology, operations research, business administration, economics, sociology, and law. The journal publishes theoretical and empirical research findings, case studies, and surveys, as well as the opinions of leaders and experts in the field. The journal''s coverage of telecommunications and networking is broad, ranging from cutting edge research to practical implementations. Published articles must be from an interdisciplinary, rather than a narrow, discipline-specific viewpoint. The context may be industry-wide, organizational, individual user, or societal. Topics Covered: -Emerging telecommunications and networking technologies -Global telecommunications industry business modeling and analysis -Network management and security -New telecommunications applications, products, and services -Social and societal aspects of telecommunications and networking -Standards and standardization issues for telecommunications and networking -Strategic telecommunications management -Telecommunications and networking cultural issues and education -Telecommunications and networking hardware and software design -Telecommunications investments and new ventures -Telecommunications network modeling and design -Telecommunications regulation and policy issues -Telecommunications systems economics
