Abstract

The objective of this project is to design a mobile robot that capable to cut and trim a flat grass area by itself. This small Autonomous Lawnmower is built with hardware and software interfaces. The robot will follow the specific path or trail as programmed. The mobile robot is using microcontroller PIC16F877 as the brain of the robot. Besides that, limit switches will acts as sensors, and battery-powered electric motors are used to build the robot. Generally, the robot control algorithm is designed so that the robot is able to move forward by using the de motors. While walking along the path of the robot moves, it will cut the grass. Then it will check if there are any obstacles around it by using the limit switches sensors. When the sensors hit any barrier such as tree trunks, vases it will alert the controller to change the direction of the robot. This robot is very useful in the gardening maintenance purpose. It also environmentally friendly, high quality of mowing, no need to collect the clippings, no emissions, safe time and money.
