Doosan Bobcat is a leader in the grounds and compact equipment industry, including lawn mowers. The 2023-2024 Bobcat Clinic team has been tasked in designing, building, and testing a riderless automation system for the Bobcat Zero-Turn Riding Mower, building on previous clinic teams’ work. The final system implements a user interface that takes in a map of the desired area and produces an efficient mowable route that the mower will proceed to follow, autonomously.
