Abstract

This paper proposes an automated solar lawn mower that functions using renewable solar energy for efficient grass cutting. The lawn mower system comprises a solar panel, battery, microcontroller, DC motors, cutting blade, and obstacle detection sensors. Solar energy is converted into electrical power and stored in a battery to power the lawn mower. The microcontroller controls the motion and allows the lawn mower to navigate safely by detecting obstacles. The proposed system will reduce human effort, environmental pollution, and offer a cost-effective solution for lawn maintenance.
