Meet Lawny: Phone-Controlled FPV Lawnmower with Raspberry PI

Imagine sitting at home in a comfortable chair, playing a racing simulator, and mowing your lawn simultaneously. Sounds cool? And it’s real.

Meet Lawny! It’s a lawn mower with a first-person view camera that allows you to cut grass while controlling a remote-controlled robot!

I’ve built it using a Raspberry PI, H-Bridge, electric motor, and camera. It can be controlled from a mobile phone or a desktop.

The project’s main idea is to control a lawnmower using a phone and see the exact same picture as a lawnmower.

Here is the full video of its creation and all the concepts that are described in this article:

System Design

I have a Steel Razors Trimmer Head. If I add an electric motor, it will be a grass cutter. The motor rotates the blades, and they cut the grass. Simple.
