  OpenMower - The DIY Smart Mowing RobotOpenMower is an open-source project aimed at creating a smarter, low-cost robotic lawn mower. Unlike current models, OpenMower offers autonomous mowing, safety features, obstacle avoidance, and rain detection without needing perimeter wires. The project involves modifying existing robust hardware with improved software, primarily developed on ROS. Detailed guides, active community support on Discord, and extensive documentation make it accessible for tech enthusiasts. The goal is to enable others to build their own enhanced mowers, sharing knowledge and improving designs collaboratively.
