Automated Solar Grass Cutter

Abstract

Nowadays the automation plays very important role in the field of inventions and also automation is growing very rapidly. So, it plays very important role in the life of humans. Before, the grass cutter was handled manually that is by human contact and also, they require fuel or energy for working, Due to this there is lot of loss of fuel and energy and it causes pollution as fuel is used for running the device The requirement of electrical energy is growing at very faster rate as the use of electrical devices is increasing and the large amount of industries and the machineries. Solar energy is a best free source of the energy, we are also running out of fuels. the conventional grass cutter is very costly and its maintenance cost is very high. So, we need to replace the conventional grass cutter to the new automated solar power-based grass cutter to avoid the above drawbacks. This model is economical as compare to the conventional one. The main motto of this device is to create a grass cutter that runs on solar power energy, thus to save the electrical energy and to reduce the human interface. In this project we use Arduino UNO microcontroller for controlling the operations of a grass cutter, the grass cutter has provided with Ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection, a blade for cutting the grass, and DC motors for the wheels of the Robot. It is fully automated and renewable energy-based project. Grass cutter operates automatically thus it does not require any skilled person to operate the device.
