I did a fun video to be able to see what the Luba 3 sees through its 2 HD vision cameras.

Working this out in my head as I type. So let me know if you see errors.

3 acre lot with 15° mowed grassy side slopes above water and many keepout areas for trees, veg and flowerbeds, outbuilding, 2 driveways with brick things at ends, dug pond, ephemeral creek which may overflow its banks rapidly and must be crossed over bridge to mow around pond, and another ephemeral creek(ditch feeding previous creek) which must be bypassed briefly driving onto public road over culvert. Flat, street facing front yard and milder slopes could be delegated to commercial automowers if more capacity required.

Automower must choose to mow, or not, autonomously and return to base according to its needs. But always reserve maybe 20% battery capacity while mowing, in case it is recalled to base to serve as my personal yard mobility device. For nature 'walks', fishing, yard work, dog runs, running with skateboarders.

Automower must also remain on base(conductive coupling prepped to export power) while PHEV is actively charging at base J1772 EVSE so that full rated 50A is available to 11kW onboard charger. In that case, automower will supply power to well pump, when water pressure demand switch calls for it. The inverter driven well pump can operate on 48VDC or 240VAC on the same wires. These conditions are expected overnight when water demand is low to zero. Evening and morning while water demand is high and PHEV is plugged in, will be handled by PHEV charging schedule off at those times.

Mobile unit electric: starting with 4 brushed power wheelchair motors/wheels overvolted to 48v with 2 Roboteq HDC2472 controllers and 16 100AH LFP cells on 200A BMS, CORVON743V1 flight controller, Jetson nano, realsense camera, because that is what I already have. Everything subject to change.

Mobile unit gas: Maybe. Have John Deere Z245 which could be automated. It would mow the entire property in 4 hours when I was still able to sit on it. It always had big problems spinning rear tires and pointing downhill on the side slopes. Adding electric steering control to front casters would help a lot. Are there any FOSS repos known to tune well in this kind of retrofit application?
I'd rather not return to hauling gasoline and listening to the drone. But I do already hear the neighbors gas mowing constantly. And having the freedom to dedicate the electric drive vehicle to just my mobility might be better. Might also be interesting to run this gas mower as a charger for the electric vehicle in case of power outage.

Base unit power: 50A 240V 6AWG buried under driveway branch circuit originally dedicated to submerged water well pump. Replaced with Grundfos SQFlex 1.5HP. I would like to "smarten up" this circuit, as it is in the perfect location next to driveway to have AC level 2 EVSE and also house my 4 bifacial 100W solar panels and Morningstar TS-MPPT-30 charge controller in a yet to be built shed. Solar could charge a lot of different small battery items and large 12v bank in wheelchair van depending on needs. Morningstar relay driver and PLC to manage battery, PV, and load contactors and controller reconfiguration. Controller says it is UL rated only for "indoor use". So what would my driveway adjacent shed need to have to be considered "indoor"?

I'm a robotics geek loosing mobility. I can no longer walk around my yard or even make the trip 100ft downhill on grass to my workshop. I can walk a little. How much varies day to day, but I cannot sit any longer than I can walk. That is the harder problem to solve. My ideal position is called "elevated quadruped on elbows" which is the only pain free position. Basically kneeling, leaning way forward onto something supporting chest, elbows, and optional face pad. Very limited forward visibility in that position. Which is why I want the device that already knows every inch of my yard to carry me around. Because I can't see where I am going.

My lawn is zoysia, and every summer it gets genuinely thick. The blades feel almost wiry, way coarser than regular turf, and by July it's basically a dense mat. I've been looking at robot mowers but keep second guessing whether a standard model would keep up once the grass hits peak density. Anyone have experience with a robot mower that can push through this kind of lawn without struggling? No ads, please!
