Automated Solar Lawn Mower Using Matlab

Rapid growth of various high-tech tools and equipment’s makes our jobs comfortable and easy. So, automation plays a vital role in the agricultural field which is helpful for the farmers as well as gardeners. In the earlier days, the grass cutters used were manually handheld devices which was a time consuming and tiring activity. Also due to the continuous increase in the cost of fuel and the effect of emission of gases from the burnt fuel into the atmosphere, this necessitated the use of the abundant solar energy from the sun as a green source of power to drive a grass cutter. This project aims at fabricating a grass cutter-based motor running through solar energy which is automatically driven through MATLAB. A solar powered grass cutter is designed and developed, based on the general principle of mowing. This project deals with design of solar powered grass cutter comprises of direct current (D.C) motor, Arduino Unos, RF Transmission, a rechargeable battery, ultra-sonic sensor, solar panel, a stainless-steel blade and control switch and MATLAB software.
