IoT-aided Smart Lawnmower

Abstract

The merging of Robotic and Internet of things (IoT) technologies have led to the appearance of a novel concept known as IoT-aided robotics technology or Internet of Robotic things (IoRT). Triggered by the tremendous development and fast advancement in both technologies, a number of innovative technological applications in this domain is continually appearing. This paper discusses the development of IoT-based domestic mobile robot, which is used for the lawn mowing of home gardens. The paper investigates the hardware design of the mobile robot and the connection of the robot with the IoT platform leading to a smart lawnmower. Experiments have been carried our that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design.
