The Team explains Track Mower RobotThe ‘Track Mower Robot’ can be controlled using a smartphone from anywhere easily. The height to which grass cutting should be done can be adjusted as well with the help of camera installed in the robot. The robot aims to work for almost 3 to 4 hours, continuously. There is a track module system in the robot which enables to enter any terrain effortlessly. There is a warning system in order to avoid any possible accidents. Arduino is used for the effective working of control unit. There are two modes of connection in the robot, Wi-Fi, for the short distance such as 100m and cloud for longer distance. The design of the robot is inspired from the animation character ‘Wall – E’. As it is hard to work under the extreme hot climate for hours to cut grass, the necessity of the track mower robot is significant. By this Track Mower Robot, now grass cutting can be done while being in the comfort of a home or anywhere, control it according to the desire.
