The focus of this paper is the design and development of an automatic solar grass trimmer prototype, emphasizing high operational efficiency with renewable energy as the primary power source. This solar-based device not only contributes to reduced air pollution but also aligns with environmental sustainability objectives. The prototype features a charge control circuit and is powered by a rechargeable 12V battery. To address low battery levels, a solar panel is employed for automatic recharging. A DC-DC buck converter is integrated to step down the higher voltage from the solar panel to match the battery requirements. Safety features, such as a current limiter and overcharge protection circuits, have been incorporated into the design. The paper provides a detailed discussion on the conceptual design of the solar grass trimmer, including the placement of sensors and motors. Additionally, the cutting motor force analysis and total weight calculation of the prototype are presented.The solar charge control circuit, along with details on the current limiter and overcharge protection circuit, is thoroughly explored. Successful development of the prototype is reported, and the battery charging circuits are analyzed using a Bench PSU and solar panel. The paper includes plots of voltage, current, and power generated by the solar panel under various weather conditions. A comparison between Bench PSU and solar panel power is also provided. This research contributes to the advancement of automated solar-powered devices, offering sustainable solutions for environmentally friendly grass trimming.

This paper focuses on the design of an Arduino-based Automated Solar Grass Trimmer with a primary emphasis on achieving high operational efficiency. A solar panel is utilized to automatically charge the battery when its level is low. A voltage level indicator circuit is incorporated to assess various battery voltage levels. The prototype integrates ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection and inductive sensors for boundary detection. To ensure safe operation in the field, a perimeter signal generator circuit is constructed for boundary detection using inductive sensors. Ultrasonic sensors are employed for obstacle detection. The paper introduces an algorithm for detecting obstacles, boundaries, and other impediments in the path of the solar grass trimmer, illustrated through a comprehensive flowchart. Detailed discussions on the voltage level indicator circuit and boundary detection circuits are provided. The implemented algorithm, utilizing an Arduino microcontroller, is tested in the field, and the results are explained in the paper. Tabulated data from the prototype testing, specifically focusing on boundary detection and obstacle detection, demonstrate satisfactory performance.
