1) Researchers designed and fabricated a lawn mower that can cut grass automatically without human operation using an RF module to control the mower's movement. 2) The mower is powered by a battery and uses a motor connected to linear blades to cut the grass. An RF transmitter sends signals to an RF receiver on the mower to control its movement. 3) The autonomous lawn mower is intended to reduce human labor and accidents from manual lawn mowing while being more environmentally friendly than gas-powered mowers.

In this paper we have automated the machine for trimming the grass. The device consists of linear blade that is operated with the assistance of the motor the facility offer for the motor is by exploitation battery. This project is associate degree autonomous garden tool which will enable the user to the flexibility to chop their grass with lowest effort. Unlike different robotic field mowers on the market, this design requires no perimeter wires to maintain the robot within the lawn. The project summarizes and reviews different technological development for making efficient and cost effective lawn mowers. The lawnmower is a machine to make cutting grass process easier. The lawnmower movement will be controlled using RF module. Key Words: Battery, Motor, Rf module, Blades, connecting wires. 1. INTRODUCTION The aim of paper is to reduce human accidents and air pollution by independent of fossil fuels. The project is developed to automaticallyoperatewithoutanyhuman need saving labour power and time now a days the scope of lawn mower plays the vital role in every aspects such as industries, colleges, homes etc.., to make more creative and attractive they tend to plant grass in and around the infrastructure. Here the lawn mower is used for shapingand trimming as per the need. With the assistance of a lawn tool that could be a machine with revolving blades to assist USA cutting lawns at even length, individuals will simply maintain and beautify their lawns and gardens without any hassle. In previous days they use motor powered push lawn mower for trimming the grass which resulted in human accidents, create noise pollution duetoloudengineandlocal air pollution due to the combustion in the engine. Due to technology development large size, and manually operated vehicles are reduced in their size and automated without reducing its efficiency and working performance. Fully Automated Grass Cutting device is a device which cuts the grass on its own. This device reduces both environmental and noise pollution. It is made with help of grass cutter, DC motors, motor driver, RF module, robotic body. 2. EXISTING SYSTEM The star grass cutter has panels mounted AN exceedingly| in a very arrangement at an angle in such the way that it will receive radiation with high intensity simply from the sun. These star panels convert solar power into power. This machine consists of the photovoltaic, dc to dc converter, motor, controller, linear blades, and battery. It is an automatic system for the aim of grass cutting. Solar Grass Cutter uses solar power as an energysourcethataddressesa number of issues that standard internal combustion engine mowers do not. An electric grass cutter with a star charger are easier to use. There is no mussy, dangeroushydrocarbon to take care of, most significantly it eliminates the emissions of an indoor combustion lawn mower. An Arduino Uno control board will act as a processing unit and direct the entire working of the mower as per a presented programmer. The motion of the mower is controlled by four DC motors of 200 rpm. A height adjustment rack and pinion mechanism has been incorporated to the cutter motor to enable different heights of cutting. A Solar panel will charge the battery and eventually power six motors, four of which are for motion of the mower and the other two are of the cutter blade and height adjustment mechanismofthecutter. IR Sensors are used to detect and avoid obstacles. Fig-1: Block Diagram of Existing Mower 3. METHODLOGY Fig-2: Block Diagram

In this system uses two batteries 12v battey connected with RF(Receiver) power the vehicle movement motor as well as the grass cutter motor and 9v connected along with RF(Transmitter) to control the movement. Has panel mounted specifically arrangement so it will receive solar power from the sun. Motor connected to the battery. This motor starts and stops with the assistance of motor drive. Thus power delivered to the mechanism which forces it to rotate blades and cut the grass. 433 Mc RF Transmitter and Receiver: In several comes we have a tendency to use RF modules for transmit and receive the info as a result of it's high volume of applicationsthanIR. RF signals travel within the transmitter associated receiver even once there's an obstruction. It operates at a specific frequency of 433MHz. Table -1: Spectrum band RF Module Features 433 MHz RF Transmitter and Receiver. DC motor Features Motor regulation:24000 RPM. Maximum current specification: 115mA. Rated voltage:6V.

Mountable in virtually any position. 15 times more vibration resistant. Faster recharging. Up to 3*longer life. 4. Result and conclusion Fig-3: Overall hardware kit The lawn mower project is designed to reduce the time and manual labour required for lawn clearing.Theuseofphysics and AI helps by increasing the potency ofthework done.The use of RF Module makes this lawn mower more pollution free and cost effective. The concept of controlling the lawn mower by RF Module solves the requirement of man’s presence near the mowing site. The smart lawn mower design is achieved minimum working time, minimize the price, minimum energy consumption, and mixed operation mode. In future a grass assortment box may be mounted.
