hi can i make a mower robot with pixy?
how i can control the motion on the garden to cover the entire area without knowing the size?
regards Paolo
Hi Paolo,
The difficulty of this really depends on the size and shape of the garden. You could set up colored objects at points where the mower should turn, although this would be difficult in large open spaces since you wouldn’t want the mower to run over them. Maybe you could just set up different colored objects on opposite ends of the garden. When the objects become large enough (meaning you’re close to them), the mower should then turn around and go back, but slightly further over so it doesn’t re-trace its tracks. Does this make sense? Hope it at least gave you some ideas.

Cool idea! I was also considering a similar project, but with a snowblower (my wife likes to mow the lawn, so that’s no issue for me :)). I was planning on using those retroreflective driveway snowpost things of different colors.
