Hovermower first ride

First test run of Hovermower under sunny conditions
Hovermower is a 3D printed DIY lawn mower based on Hoverboard Hardware. It gets operated by ROS (robot operating system) Melodic.
Sensor payload:
- BNO085 IMU
- wheel odometry
- D435 Intel realsense stereo depth camera
- LD06 360deg TOF-Lidar
- Bump sensor
- Perimeter fence sensor
In this video, I used RTABMAP_ROS to create the map and move_base for navigation.
I still discover serious wifi issues, especially outdoor. If wignal gets lost, it takes long to recover. Also I see robot switches betweeen different access points (meshed wifi) which causes much delay.

I enjoyed the video. This is amazing. I'm going to do SLAM & NAVIGATION using ld06 lidar, so could you tell me how you did SLAM & NAVIGATION in detail? It is difficult for me just to use RTABMAP_ROS and move_base. Thank you.

I used to use mesh, but when my TV started to connect to the end of the house rather then the ap that was a meter away, rove me mad..I went ubiquity dream machine way. That said maybe you can use rf to connect to a connected base station.
