This project is an Open Source initiative to make a fully autonomous robot for grass cutting. Later much bigger stuff.

What kind of hardware do you plan to use? A arduino driven robot or rasperry pi with ROS, or what are your ideas at the moment?

In case of application there can be two scenarios: cut the grass on the backyard or cut the grass on the field. I would say the on the backyard is easier, because of the range between the robot and operator is short and WiFi/Bluetooth are available. On the field is different, because the distance bigger (a couple of hundred meters) and no WiFi. The base computer can run on JavaScript. This will specify the waypoints and send them to the robot via GSM. (For this, we need precision GPS navigation on the robot as well.) The robot will connect the waypoints in an autonomous way (vision recognition/obstacle avoidance) reporting via GSM to the base. So I'm planning to use on the robot Jetson Nano (CPU+ NVIDIA GPU). It is a bigger version of Raspberry Pi (CPU and weak GPU) The software on the Jetson Nano is Python.

What are Your strengths? Software or hardware or both?
