Cutter
Abstract
The smart grass cutter system puts forth a completely
semiautomatic grass lawn cutting mechanism. The hand pushed
vehicle is equipped with a grass cutter blade that allows for grass
cutting at high RPM. Also the system uses a solar panel to
demonstrate the charging of vehicle movement battery. Thus this
system allows for minimum manual grass cutting system with
minimum the need for any human intervention.
This hand pushed solar powered grass cutting will have higher
speed of grass cutting in farming and gardening works. Operator
will just need to run the cutter though area. The power of cutting
will be generated through solar panel installed on board of the
vehicle. Controls will be given to operator handle and high speed
grass cutting motor is operated. Thus cutting of the grass from
room is achieved with flexibility to reach each and every corner of
area by using flexible nylon cutting blades.

Introduction
The manual operated solar grass cutter is a grass
cutting robotic vehicle powered by solar energy and
pushed by human operator. The bot uses 12V solar to
power grass cutter motor. This project of a solar
powered automatic grass cutter will relieve the
consumer from moving their own lawns and farm and
will reduce both environmental and noise pollution
and energy use by implementing solar panels.
Ultimately, the farmer will be doing more for the
environment while doing less work in their daily lives.
Literature survey
In present generation grass cutter machines are
becoming very popular today. Pollution is
manmade, which we can be seen in our daily
life. In old model of grass cutter IC engine was
used and hence because of its environmental
impact, pollution level rises. IC engine driven
cutter is more costly. Maintenance of such
conventional machine is more. To avoid these
drawbacks, we plan to build new type of grass
cutter which runs on solar energy and this
model is economical compared to previous one.
The aim of our project is to make the grass
cutter which operates on solar energy, hence
save the electricity and reduces manpower. In
this project we use 8051 microcontroller for
controlling the operations of a grass cutter. Also
the grass cutter has Ultra sonic sensor for
obstacle detection. Grass cutter operates
automatically hence it does not require skilled
person to operate.

Conclusion
It will be easier for the people who are
going to take the project for the
further modifications. This project is
more suitable for a common man as it
is having much more advantages that
is, no fuel cost, no pollution and no
fuel , less wear and tear because of
less number of moving components
and this can be operated by using
solar energy. This will give much more
physical exercise to the people and
can be easily handled. This system is
having facility of charging the
batteries while the solar powered
grass cutter is in motion. So it is much
more suitable for grass cutting also.
The same thing can be operated in
