 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
I would like to express my gratitude towards all the people who have contributed their
precious time and effort to help me in the project.
First and foremost, I would like to thank Dr. Ankita Maheshwari who gave me the
opportunity to do this presentation on “SOLAR GRASS CUTTER ROBOT“.
Last but not least, I would also extend my sincere thank to my friends, workmates and
parents for their co-operation which help us a lot n completing this project on duly
time.

 INTRODUCTION
• A solar grass cutter is a machine that uses sliding blades to
cut a lawn at an even length. Even more sophisticated
devices are there in every field. Power consumption
becomes essential for future.
• The solar grass cutter consists of the photovoltaic cell for
the efficiency power from solar panel. The DC to DC buck
boost converter helps to step up the DC voltage from the
photovoltaic panel and store the DC voltage in a battery. It
is an automated system for the purpose of grass cutting.
• Solar power as an energy source will address a number of
issues that standard internal combustion engine mowers do
not. An electric grass cutter with a solar charger will be
easier to use. There is no messy dangerous gasoline to de
with. Most importantly it eliminates the emissions of an
internal combustion mower.

 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
• HARDWARE SPECIFICATIONS:-
1. Solar panel:- Solar panels in a solar grass cutter are mounted to
capture the sun’s intense solar radiation and convert it into electrical
energy. This energy is then stored in a rechargeable battery, which
powers the grass cutter’s motor and blades.
2. Aurdino UNO Microcontroller:- Arduino Uno is an open-source
microcontroller board based on the processor ATmega328P. There
are 14 digital I/O pins, 6 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power
jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button.
3. DC Motors (100 RPM):- A suitable DC motor for 100RPM and
12Volts is the 12V 100RPM 37mm Geared DC Motor. This motor
has a speed of 100RPM and operates at 12 volts, making it ideal for
your requirements.
 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
4.IR Sensor:-IR sensor is an electronic device, that emits the light in order
to sense some object of the surroundings. An IR SENSOR can measure
the heat of an object as well as detects the motion. Usually, in the IR
spectrum, all the objects radiate some form of thermal radiation.
5.BLDC motor:- A BLDC Motor is also commonly known as Brushless
DC motor. It is highly efficient and powerful motor. It can be controlled
using feedback mechanisms to give especially the required torque and
rotation speed.
6. 7850 Voltage Regulator:- The commonly used voltage regulator IC is
the 7805, which provides a constant +5V output voltage for a input
voltage supply. It’s a popular choice for many electronics projects.
7.L293D Motor Driver:- The L293D motor driver shield has two servos
with four motor interfaces supporting DC or stepper cars, offering one of
the most versatile on the market.
 COMPONENTS DESCRIPTION
8. 18650 battery:-The 18650 battery is a Li-ion battery named after its
18mm × 65mm cylindrical size (diameter × height). When compared to AA
size, it’s height and diameter both are larger. They are not replacements for
AA or AAA size cells. Cells are connected in series to add their individual
voltages together. For example, a 12V pack might consist of 3 cells in
series, each cell providing approximately 4 volts when fully charged.
BD139 Transistors:- The BD139 is an NPN transistor, the collector and
emitter will be open (reverse biased) while the base pin is grounded and
closed (forward biased) when a signal is applied to the base pin. The BD139
is designed to especially in audio applications.
9. Blades:- A blade is that portion of a tool, weapon or machine with an
edge that is designed to cut and/or puncture, stab, slice, chop, slash, thrust
 APPLICATIONS
• It can be used in garden at home.
• It can be used in Public Parks.
• It can be used in college.
• It can be used in party plots.
 ADVANTAGES
• As there is no friction between parts, less maintenance is required.
• It doesn’t cause any environmental pollution.
• As it is working on solar no fuel cost.
• As the battery is used for backup it can be run in night also.
• High efficiency.
• We can reduce the wastage of power.
• Low weight and easy to move anywhere.
• Easy to use.
• Easy assemble and disassemble.
• Design of it is compact.
 DISADVANTAGES
• Large time required to remove the grass.
• Difficult to operate in rainy seasons.
• Manually operated.
 FUTURE SCOPES
The solar panel can be fixed with light sensors. Thus depending upon the arrangement of the sun, the
panel will be slanting, such that the sun rays are incident normally to the solar panel. With this the
device would be constant capable of trapping the solar energy at times when the strength of sunlight
is less. If panel used of high watt, then the machine can be used during night time for garden lighting
or room lighting, because we can accumulate more power. And at night time however you keep it
apart. So the power in the battery can be used for this intention. By using one valve in the pipe we
can also use it for gardening i.e. pouring water for plants. By connecting one box type transporter we
can use it to transport files, books or other stuffs from one place to other in office or any other place.
Grass cutting can be made more proficiently used after modifying for small rice harvesting.
