DEVELOPMENT OF A REMOTE-CONTROLLED LAWN MOWER WITH ARDUINO OPEN-SOURCE HARDWARE
Abstract
The remote-controlled powered lawnmower has been developed to reduce the amount of work required of humans in trimming the lawn. Due to the increased availability of sophisticated equipment, our work has become more convenient, effective, precise, and productive. The research investigates the possibility of a wireless service system that can be used remotely. In this report, the feasibility and design of a push lawnmower that can be operated by remote control and a remote-controlled riding platform are discussed. It is powered by a DC motor. Current from the battery is sent to the motor, and the shaft begins to rotate. Furthermore, two tires are connected to the hub which also rotates. Yet another motor is added onto the base of the lawnmower and is connected to the center of the base. In addition to this cutting blade, which cuts the grass at the highest speed, is attached. The mower's movement and speed may be controlled through remote operation. Given that the lawn is being mowed by an autonomous device, the user can relax and stop worrying about their lawn. Also, this project replaces inefficient designs using advanced technologies to conserve resources in the most efficient manner possible. To be effective, this project has specific goals which are to be easy to understand, accurate, and timely. Moreover, this paper reviews technological developments in the design and construction of lawnmowers, and the stages of the engineering process.
