Mowsupremo is an autonomous lawn mower that uses a perimeter wire and ultrasound sensors to define the mowing area and avoid obstructions. It has a maximum incline of 20 degrees and adjustable cutting height. The target markets are homeowners, municipalities, and facilities like golf courses. Radio advertising will be used since Mauritius has little competition in automated mowers. The mower will be sold in hardware stores for demonstration. Implementing the project requires a steering committee, project manager, project team, and communication management. Areas for improvement include adding anti-theft features, replacing microprocessors, and adding a solar panel. Key performance indicators focus on customer satisfaction, operational performance like quality and energy use.
