Making lawn mowing possible and easy for everyone
Making lawn mowing possible and easy for everyone
Mowing a lawn can be a difficult task, especially for our bodies.
Mowing a lawn can be a difficult task, especially for our bodies.
Manual lawn mowers make it difficult for people who are physically disabled to own and maintain a grass lawn, as well as create excess physical fatigue for various other individuals. If a front lawn isn’t taken well care of, even the most beautiful houses can become hard to look at. But mowing your own lawn can be an arduous task and hiring another person can cost up to $80 per visit which can add up quickly in expenses.
Our solution is an autonomous lawn mower that has the ability to retrace a path set by the user. It is capable of retracing this path repeatedly on a schedule set by the individual. This feature will make it possible for the autonomous mower to cut the grass in all of the desired areas regularly without any assistance, maintaining the beautiful aesthetic of any lawn.
