Abstract

The development of a lawnmower equipped with a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller and an IoT (Internet of Things) monitoring system is presented in this study. Lawncare is a crucial aspect of maintaining a well-groomed outdoor space, and the automation of lawnmowers has gained significant attention due to its potential to improve efficiency and convenience. The proposed lawnmower system incorporates a PID controller, which enables precise control of the mower's movements. The PID controller uses feedback from sensors, such as ultrasonic sensors, to adjust the speed and direction of the lawnmower in real-time. This allows the lawnmower to autonomously navigate through the lawn, ensuring effective coverage and avoiding obstacles. Furthermore, an IoT monitoring system is integrated into the lawnmower design. This system enables remote monitoring of the lawnmower through a mobile application or a web-based interface. Users can access real-time information about the mower's location, and operational parameters. In addition, the IoT monitoring system provides alerts and notifications in case of any anomalies or maintenance needs, enhancing the overall performance of the lawnmower. The development of this lawnmower system involves a combination of hardware and software components. The hardware includes the PID controller, sensors, actuators, and communication modules, while the software encompasses the control algorithms, IoT connectivity, and user interfaces. Extensive testing and validation are performed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the system under various operating conditions. The results of this study demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed lawnmower system. The PID controller enables precise navigation, ensuring thorough lawn coverage and obstacle avoidance. The IoT monitoring system enhances user convenience and provides valuable insights for effective lawncare management. The development of such a system opens new possibilities for automation in lawncare, improving efficiency and reducing manual effort
