Project Title:

Automated Solar Grass Cutter

Project Description:

An automated solar grass cutter is a device designed to cut grass using solar power as its energy source.
It typically consists of a solar panel to generate electricity, a motor to drive the cutting blades and a
microcontroller that moves the vehicle motors in forward direction in case no obstacle is detected. On
obstacle detection the ultrasonic sensor monitors it and the microcontroller thus stops the grass cuter
motor to avoid any damage to the object/human/animal whatever it is. Microcontroller then turns the
robotic as long as it gets clear of the object and then moves the grass cutter in forward direction again. It
also has sensors or navigation systems to move around and avoid obstacles. This system interfaced to an
ultrasonic sensor for object detection. This environmentally friendly solution can help maintain lawns
and fields without the need for traditional fossil fuels.

Methodology:

The methodology of an automated solar grass cutter involves design planning, components selection
such as DC motor, microcontrollers, sensors and blades that ensures the compatibility and efficiency of
the system. Other approaches will be mechanical assembly where parts and positions will be securely
placed, wiring, sensor integration specifically the ultrasonic sensor, programming, solar power
optimization where development of algorithms to ensure the cutter efficiently utilizes solar energy,
charges the battery, and operates even during cloudy days will be planned.

For accuracy and design testing, safety measures will be first applied before field testing and will
continuously optimize the system based on field testing results.
