Design of smart and self-controlled Solar Grass Cutter with Lawn Coverage

Abstract

In this paper we design a piece of equipment which is “Variable Head Automatic Solar Grass Cutter with Lawn Coverage”. The system is design by some basic components including motor drive circuit, control circuit and solar panel. The overall operation is controlled by an Arduino microcontroller. The proposed system can automatically cut the lawn while adjusting the cutting height according to the surface needs, making it suitable for different types of lawns. The machine’s cutting system consists of a DC motor, which drives and controls the rotating edge along a nylon cord. This system enables the machine to cut grass with precision and speed. The basic concern of the machine is the safety of the user. To avoid collision an ultrasonic sensor is installed on the front of the machine, allowing it to detect and avoid obstacles in its path. In this project Solar panels and rechargeable batteries are used that help us to reduce energy consumption and also promote the use of renewable energy sources. This makes our machine eco-friendly and cost-effective. Hence this machine provides an opportunity to promote progress in innovation and maintenance.
