Solar Grass Cutter Using Embedded Platform An Experimental Validation

Abstract

These days, a manually handled machine is used for cutting the grass. The most used energy sources are gasoline and electric power. These sources are not eco-friendly. To reduce pollution as well as human efforts need to develop an automated machine that utilizes renewable energy sources such as solar energy. The main idea behind this paper is to develop a solar-powered grass cutter. A 12-volt battery is incorporated into an automated machine to power the motors used for vehicle movement as well as motors used for rotating the grass trimming blades. The D.C motors are used in this automated machine. The battery is charged through a charging circuit. Particularly in this research work, we have focused on the automated machine is used for trimming the grass. The machine is made up of linear-rotary blades. These blades are functions with the support of the motors. A battery is used for power supply to the motors. A solar panel, as well as an A.C power supply circuit, are cast-off to charge the battery. Ultrasonic sensors are used to detect an obstacle in the path of an automated machine. If any deviation in the traveling path, the automated machine finds the new path to travel by using a free direction sensor. In the future, robotics will play a key role worldwide.
