Construction of a Solar Powered Fully Automated Grass Cutter Arduino.

Abstract

A manually handled device is commonly used for cutting the grass over the field which creates pollution and loss of energy. The automated grass cutter system puts forth an automated lawn mower mechanism. This will reduce the effort required for cutting grass in the lawns and the battery used will help to contribute to lowering pollution. The robotic vehicle is equipped with a grass cutter blade that allows for grass cutting at high RPM. The system has smart functionality that allows it to cover the complete area of a lawn or garden by detecting corners using an ultrasonic sensor and moving in a raster manner to cover the entire area. This efficient system uses an Arduino Uno microcontroller to achieve this functionality. The Arduino will act as the brain of the project which will send commands to the grass cutter. It also controls the movement of motors, which helps with the movement of the cutter. The main objective of this solar powered grass cutter machine is to cut grass by using battery power which is stored by using solar panel. It is also very useful for low cost of fabrication and maintenance.
