When it comes to lawn mowers, you may first think of problems such as loud noise, labor-intensive, and insufficient safety. As a convenient and efficient intelligent lawn mowing device, the smart lawn mower can independently complete the lawn trimming work, which can well solve the pain points of traditional lawn mowers.
With the gradual improvement of people's requirements for home gardening and quality of life, the intelligent upgrade of lawn mowers has become an inevitable trend, especially in Europe and North America, where intelligent lawn mowers are very popular.
Based on its intelligent module SC668S and high-precision positioning module LC29H series, Quectel has developed a smart lawn mower solution by integrating AI vision and RTK technology. , Efficient and safe mowing experience.
RTK solution to meet the high-precision positioning requirements of intelligent lawn mowers
For intelligent lawn mowers, their positioning accuracy is very important in order to realize automatic mowing and intelligent operation. Quectel's intelligent lawn mower solution uses Quectel's high-precision positioning module LC29H, which can provide a complete RTK solution.
The RTK positioning solution of the intelligent lawn mower includes two parts: "base station" and "mobile station". As a base station, LC29H (BS) can output stable and reliable corrections of original observations; as a mobile station, LC29H (EA) supports 10Hz RTK high-precision positioning, and supports GNSS direction finding function, which can meet high-precision positioning in complex environments output requirements.
Integrating AI vision technology to help mower users free their hands
In addition to high-precision positioning, the AI capability of the smart lawn mower also plays a key role in its overall performance. In order to further increase the AI capability of the smart lawn mower, the Quectel smart lawn mower solution uses the Quectel 4G smart module SC668S.
SC668S is developed based on Qualcomm QCM6125 chip platform, integrating cellular, Wi-Fi communication capabilities and AI computing power, with excellent performance, powerful multimedia functions, and integrated rich functional interfaces. The module is highly integrated and cost-effective, which can further reduce the difficulty of developing smart lawn mower products, and help lawn mowers easily enter the era of intelligence.
At the same time, Quectel SC668S has a rich ecology in terms of AI vision, so the smart mower solution equipped with this module can realize functions such as vision-based obstacle avoidance, object recognition, and lawn boundary segmentation. Through RTK technology and With the integration of AI vision technology, the smart mower can intelligently cope with complex environments in outdoor lawn scenes, realize autonomous path planning, and truly free users' hands.
Intelligent, safe and efficient, the mowing experience is fully upgraded
As a service robot, the intelligent lawn mower is applied to reduce the burden of mowing personnel. Traditional lawn mowers do not have the ability to locate. Traditional embedding solutions have problems such as complex deployment, low mowing efficiency, and high maintenance costs. Empowered by Quectel’s intelligent lawn mower solutions, these pain points can be solved easily and effectively.
The intelligent lawn mower equipped with Quectel solution adopts the borderless technology, which can be used out of the box, reducing the cost of line deployment and later maintenance; the path planning is realized through positioning technology, which greatly improves the efficiency of mowing grass and can reduce The probability of missed cuts; at the same time, the introduction of AI vision technology has greatly improved the experience of using the lawn mower. Through object recognition technology, it can effectively avoid damage to people and objects during the work of the intelligent lawn mower, thereby providing users with Bring a more intelligent, safe and efficient mowing experience.
With the further development of IoT technology, the penetration rate of smart lawn mowers will further increase. Next, Quectel will also rely on its own layout and advantages in the field of Internet of Things, keep up with the pace of technological development, and continue to contribute to the next iteration of smart lawn mower products.
In order to let everyone have a more intuitive understanding of the automation and intelligence level of the Quectel smart lawn mower, during the 2023 MWC Shanghai World Communication Conference, Quectel dynamically demonstrated its working process.
