Abstract

Rising worries regarding climate change and pollution require the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies. This project entails the development and enhancement of a solar-powered grass cutter, which is operated by an Arduino microcontroller. The objective is to encourage more environmentally friendly methods of maintaining lawns. The main goals consist of developing a solar-powered system, programming an Arduino microcontroller for self-directed movement. and evaluating the effectiveness of solar energy in operating the grass cutter. The process involves a, starting with the development of a flowchart for the system, and subsequently programming the Arduino microcontroller. The core of the development process is in the selection and assembly of components for constructing the circuit. The grass cutter utilizes solar energy, effectively converting it to power the device, which consists of a blade cutter for trimming grass and an ultrasonic sensor for detecting and avoiding obstacles. The key findings indicate that the solar panel efficiently replenishes the battery, guaranteeing continuous functionality. The ultrasonic sensor effectively identifies and avoids obstructions, while the blade cutter efficiently trims the grass, showcasing the system's operational efficiency. The initiative highlights substantial environmental advantages, particularly in the reduction of air and noise pollution and its contribution to climate change mitigation. The creation of this solar-powered grass cutter signifies a significant progression in environmentally friendly technology, providing a sustainable substitute for conventional lawn care techniques.
