Introduction

Mowers are used to cut grass world wide, but different

machines have different pros and corns. Simple grass
cutters use more human effort and energy consumption.
Our idea is to make automatic solar based mowers
which energy efficient ,harmless and effortless.

Department of Electrical Engineering

Problem Statement
 Humans depend on atmosphere , solution of
atmospheric pollution is need of hour.
They are
Many Grass cutters expensive and
are used but, require more
human effort.

Harmful to humans
Add to noise and
and animals
air pollution.

Department of Electrical/Biomedical Engineering

Aims & Objectives
The aim of our project is to design an efficient fully
automatic, solar powered grass cutting machine having
intelligent sensors which will detect obstacles and energy
efficient.

we will use
advance In case of any
microcontroller obstacles at will
which will control react effectively
sensors and and machine
motors and act will stop working
like brain.

Methodology
 Component of attachment to Microcontroller
 DC motors, Sensors, Battery
 Energy will store in battery from solar panel
1. Battery supply power to MC
2. MC will provide further to sesnors,motors
 In case of any obstacle sensor will detect
1. Sensor will give command to MC
2. MC will control motors to stop working
