| Abstract/Contents: | Briefly discusses "the possibility of a self guided or robotic mower, capable of functioning independently from a human operator." Lists "possible benefits of a robotic mower," including "increased mowing frequency, which has proven to result in increased turfgrass density and reduced labor costs." Details a "robotic mower capable of functioning independently" developed by Self-Guided Systems (SGS). Reports that "researchers at the Michigan State University, Hancock Turfgrass Research Center, are...evaluating the efficacy of the SGS robotic mowing system. Evaluation will include quality and regularity of cut, and the effects of increased mowing frequency and night mowing." |
