摘要： An autonomous mower conversion kit and method for autonomously controlling a zero-turn mower. The conversion kit include a vehicle control unit containing a navigation processor in data communication with one or more global positioning (GPS) devices configured for inputting GPS coordinates to the navigation processor. The navigation processor is configured to send a signal to a pair of high torque servo motors attached to a housing of a mower. Each of the pair of high torque servo motors has a tie rod removably attached on a first end to one of the pair of high torque servo motors and on a distal end to a mower steering arm. A safety override switch is connected to the vehicle control unit and is configured for converting the mower to autonomous control.
