IoT enabled solar-powered grass cutter utilizing radiant solar energy

Abstract

The advanced technology driven machines are leading the engineering of coming up new tools. The IoT-enabled solar-powered grass cutter harnesses radiant energy from the sun as its primary power source and further, the machine integrates IoT (Internet of Things) technology to enable it to process the trimming of grass with improved efficiency and minimal human intervention. This type of technology driven grass cutter is especially valuable for maintaining vital areas like hotels, stadiums, parks, and public spaces. Herein, a new IoT based solar energy powered grass cutter design is reported. The key components that drive the functionality of this advanced grass cutter include the NodeMCU, a WIFI module, motor drivers, a solar panel with a charge controller, a battery, and an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection. The final designed grass cutter components work seamlessly to automate grass cutting operations in outdoor spaces towards ensured effective and obstacle-free processing of the task.
