Semi-Automated Solar Grass Cutter is an innovative and eco-friendly solution for lawn maintenance, designed to operate semi-autonomously using solar energy. This project combines advanced technologies to develop a sustainable lawn mower, addressing challenges associated with traditional mowing methods, such as reliance on fossil fuels, high maintenance requirements, and labor-intensive operations. The system's main components include an Arduino Uno microcontroller, a motor driver, a BLDC motor for cutting, and a Bluetooth module for wireless control. Energy efficiency is achieved through solar panels that charge lithium-ion batteries, ensuring continuous operation without external power. Additionally, a Type-C charging setup, incorporating a charging module and step- down module, provides an emergency power source. Durable tires and a robust solar panel mounting system enhance its functionality as a compact, mobile unit. Historically, conventional lawn mowers have faced issues like greenhouse gas emissions and noise pollution due to internal combustion engines. This solar-powered alternative addresses these concerns by utilizing renewable energy. Its semi-automated control system, enabled by the Bluetooth module, allows users to steer and control the vehicle remotely via a mobile phone. This enhances flexibility, operational ease, and safety by allowing real-time maneuvering across various terrains without physical interaction.
