Abstract
A robotic vehicle may be configured to incorporate multiple sensors to make the robotic vehicle capable of detecting grass by measuring edge data and/or frequency data. In this regard, in some cases, the robotic vehicle may include an onboard positioning module, a detection module, and a mapping module that may work together to give the robotic vehicle a comprehensive understanding of its current location and of the features or objects located in its environment. Moreover, the robotic vehicle may include sensors that enable the modules to collect and process data that can be used to identify grass on a parcel on which the robotic vehicle operates.
