When I got my riding lawn mower, they told me to make sure I varied my pattern.
I didn't, and after about a year and a half, I started to notice that I formed ruts in my lawn where I always followed the same path.
That mower looks very, very heavy. I would fear that always following the same pattern, or the same few patterns, would leave ruts and other visible patterns.
- 31carmichael 3y agoNo, it would be fine.
- xmprt 3y agoSounds like there's a pretty simple software solution here where the programmed route is automatically varied just like screens do to avoid burn in. Hopefully they implemented something like this.
- Someone1234 3y agoIf the software could do that, then why is predriving the route required? Presumably you have to predrive because it is not advanced enough to route itself around objects, or risks.
- qbrass 3y agoIt's a good way to teach it what areas need to be mowed. That doesn't mean it has to repeat the path you took every time.
- xmprt 3y agoThere's a big difference in complexity of predriving and having to make minor adjustments vs automatic routing and planning. Kind of like how most cars can do adaptive cruise control but getting full self driving is still a ways out.
