Abstract
We developed a controller that allows our prototype lawnmower, CWRU Cutter, 1st place winner of the 2009 ION Autonomous Lawnmower Competition, to follow pre-defined paths and reflexively edge around obstacles before returning to the path. CWRU Cutter is equipped with localization sensors (GPS) and obstacle detecting sensors (LIDAR and camera).
