Abstract

It is essential to switch from traditional, manually operated, fossil fuel-based grass cutters to solar-powered automated systems in order to minimize human labour, lower operating costs, and reduce environmental pollution. These systems make use of a solar panel to effectively charge an on-board battery, creating a continuous, low-maintenance, renewable power source that is essential for resolving problems like power outages and the environmental effects of non-renewable sources. Automation is accomplished through a range of technologies, including microcontrollers (like the AT mega 16), IR proximity sensors for object avoidance and safety, and high-efficiency motors like BLDC motors with gear systems for precise speed control and power consumption management. Control flexibility is ensured by interfaces such as Bluetooth modules, which allow for both automated and manual operation. Building on this basis, the technology's versatility will determine its future .capabilities, transforming the solar grass cutter into an all- purpose agricultural robot capable of carrying out tasks other than mowing, such as light debris collection, automated seeding and fertilization, and real-time lawn health monitoring via integrated sensors. This would offer a value-added, independent solution for comprehensive property management.
