Automated Lawn Mower
Project Area of Specialization RoboticsProject SummaryThe mower includes the mower itself a
? Mow the grass (some research would be required for blades for effectiveness).
? Boundary wire control station or sensor-based control station (Perimeter wire and its circuit or sensor-based system).
? GPRS control may also be included.
? Keep the track and history and follow the lane by itself.
? The mower may include a solar panel for charging the batteries and start working at a specified time (after work hours or night).
? An optional charging station.
? The mower would navigate within the boundary wire which is positioned around the perimeter of the garden or lawn or sensors.
? Once the mower senses the perimeter wire or sensors, it stops reverses and moves off in a new direction but keep the planed lane for the next working/cutting area (mow the grass).
? The mower should have sonar sensors to detect objects in the path of the mower. Once the mower's battery is exhausted, the mower uses the boundary wire to navigate itself back to the charging station.
? Self-Learning system would be an added feature that could be further linked with garden ID.
? Mobile app controls.
? Lawn map (GPRS) may be defined through a mobile app.
Project ObjectivesExpected Outcomes:
Automatically and effectively cut the grace (mow the grass).
? Keep the history and learn the path.
? Sense the grace height if possible and cut it if required.
? Rest is defined in the introduction of the project.
The objective of our project is to introduce lawn mower in Pakistan. Because no any Pakistani industry is building such kind of automated lawn mower. This also reduces the human effort. This reduces manul work and dont need a skill labour for mowing grass .The most significant benefit is that robot lawn mowers actually help to fertilize your lawn, which makes it look vibrant and green. This reduces the amount of added fertilizer needed to maintain a green and healthy lawn. This is due to the way that robot lawn mowers handle the grass clippings.
Project Implementation MethodProject Implementation Methonds:
- Our 1st goal is research about existing lawn mower.
- We want automated lawn mower from scratch.
- We will make a desing of our lawn mower.
- We will built a protoype of automated lawn mower.
- We will working on hardware part of the automated lawn mower.
- We will working on sofrware of autmated lawn mower.
- Then we will test our autamted our lawn mower.
Benefits of the Project:
- We want to introduce Robotic Lawn Mower in Pakistan.
- Robot Lawn Mowers Are Much More Convenient Than Other Types Of Lawn Mower.
- Your Grass Will Look Better And Your Lawn Will Be Healthier With A Robot Lawn Mower.
- Robot Lawn Mowers Are Much Safer.
- Very Low Maintenance.
- More Environmentally Friendly.
- More Time For Yourself.
- Avoid Hayfever With A Robot Lawn Mower.
Technical Details of Final Deliverable:
- Our Robotic Lawn Mower is based on camera for imageg capturing and used for avoidance of obstacles.
- Ultrasound sensor also used to increase the efficiency to obstacle avoidance.
- Motor controller is used to control the wheels.
- GPS is used to drwa the boundary of lawn.
- Android App is also built for control the lawn mower and draw boundary.
