Roktrack Pylon-Guided Robotic Mower

Open source robotic mower using image recognition technology. No GPS. No boundary wire.

  • Just place the pylon and flip the switch.
  • Solar charging and AC charging.
  • As a surveillance camera that can detect person and animals while charging.

Warning

Fast-spinning blades are very dangerous. If you make this machine by yourself, please be very careful and ensure the safety of your surroundings before using it.

Demo

Single Operation

Parallel Operation

Requirement

  • Raspberry Pi 3A+, 4B, Zero 2W(without speaking)
  • libv4l-dev
  • libssl-dev
  • mpg123

See BUILD INSTRUCTION for information on assembling the hardware.

Installation

sudo apt install -y libv4l-dev libssl-dev mpg123
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ysuito/roktrack/master/installation.sh | sh

*See installation.md for comprehensive installation instructions, including OS settings.

Usage

Surround the area to be mowed with pylons (traffic cones), place Roktrack and execute the following command.

cd roktrack
sudo ./roktrack

Auto-Startup

If you want to start it at the same time as system startup, create a file with the following contents as /lib/systemd/system/roktrack.service.

[Unit]
Description = roktrack
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/home/pi/roktrack/roktrack
Restart=always
Type=simple
WorkingDirectory=/home/pi/roktrack

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Load it and activate it.

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable roktrack.service

Finally, set the Raspberry Pi to Read Only.

sudo raspi-config nonint enable_overlayfs
sudo systemctl reboot

Note

If you are using a Raspberry Pi3A+ or Zero 2W, please refer to the hackaday log to reserve memory.
