Mowing with a handheld power mower on narrow slopes is sometime dangerous to agriculture workers. Autonomous mowing systems will lessen the worker’s burden of heavy mowing and reduce danger works. A general-purpose small mowing system have been developed on the laboratory that the author belongs in. It can mow weeds on the range specified by an external computer automatically. However, it cannot go straight on slopes and it is better to have independent control system without extra computers on narrow space. We verified the effectivity of yaw-angle feedback control with PID controller and roll-angle feedforward control system.
