There Abstract – In the past grass cutting is done by manually, the cutting of grass is repetitive and boring work. The researchers found out a grass cutting machine which uses petrol or diesel causes air pollution. In order to avoid pollution the grass cutters are to be replaced by the cutters which uses renewable energy like solar. Also to avoid man power the solar cutter is to be fully automated which uses solar and battery as a power source. Arduino UNO is the heart of the system, a blade is used for cutting grass and a motor driver for controlling the wheels of the system.
are different sensors that are used in this system that helps in the detection of any obstacle on the way of the machine during the process of cutting the grass[4]. Bhagyashri R patil has proposed a design of solar powered grass cutting machine includes DC motors, Blade, and Solar panel. Solar and battery can be used as power source[5].Mrs. Melba noted that solar panel was placed above grass cutter which takes energy from the sun, use it as power for working of the grass cutter[6].

Pollution has been one of the major problems in this world causing living on earth a havoc. Any lawn mower that uses fuel such as petrol, diesel or gas as a source of power to run the engine will cause lots of air and noise pollution. This causes damage to the environment which leads to health problems to the persons near lawn mower. And hence, it is necessary to use eco-friendly lawn mower that is driven electrically using a renewable source of energy. With an advanced technological science now, automated lawn mower can also be developed easily using microcontrollers and sensors. That is, the work of cutting of the grass can be done with minimal or no effort. So, we can say that an automated solar powered grass cutter can be developed. The solar grass cutter uses solar energy as a primary source, it gives power to the two motors for moving the grass cutter and to one motor for cutting the grass cutter. To avoid the obstacles while moving, IR sensor is used.
