Methodology
Location of the Study
The proposed study will be evaluated and tested at the STE building in Sto. Tomas
National High School, Sto. Tomas, Davao Del Norte, Region XI, Philippines
Research Design
The proposed study will conduct an comparative studies for investigation to analyzed
and evaluate the common simmilarities and differences of a manual lawnmower
machine and a solar power automated lawnmower robot.
Statistical Treatment
Paired T - Test: The measurement we're using to our research to prove the effectivity of
the automated lawnmower is the time spent to mow the entire field and the life span of
the automated lawnmower robot and the lawnmower machine. To find the difference of
the spent of mowing the lawn, we use a stopwatch and record the time spent for 10
trials.
Flowchart
Materials
The project will be constructed with the following materials; 1pc of arduino processor as
the brain of the robot. It process the interaction between the robot and the user. 4pcs
of mini robot wheels to move from one place to another, 1pc of ultrasonic sensor to
detect an obstacle on the field, 1pc of solar panel for the power source of the robot, 1pc
of stainless blade to mow the field, laptop to program and code the robot so that it will
execute the orders been given to, motors ( D.C, Servo ) for the wheels of the robot, a
power supply or batteries, and USB plug for the processor. For the structure base, we
use aluminum acrylic sheet. Other materials include; jumper wires to connect the
sensors, stick glue and glue gun use to attach the sensors, soldering iron to connect the
wires, breadboard to manage the circuit for the robot, also includes pencil, ruler, and
screw driver.
Main Robot Components

Design of the Proposed Project


The Automated Lawnmower Robot using artificial intelligence will
employ the following design specifications, which are the mowing
part and the obstacle detecting part.
Solar Powered Lawnmower Robot
The design of the robot is to paint the outer part of the robot with a
green color to match the color of the grass and making it very
brightly colored. The stainless blades/cutter are located at the
bottom of the robot, the ultrasonic sensor will be put at the top of
the robot so that it will be easy to detect obstacles during mowing.
The solar panel will be located at the top center of the robot so that
the power of the robot is very strong during daylight. The lawnmower
wheels will be located at the corners of the robot. For the materials
on attaching the systems and structure, we use epoxy glue and
dtick glue. The Arduino processor will be located inside the robot so
it will be protected from moist, heat, and dust. The battery or the
power source of the robot are located also inside the robot. Also for
the structure of the robot, we use carbon metallic sheet so it will be
resistant to heat.

Procedures
1. Structure of the robot
1.1 Cutting of the carbon metal sheet
The carbon metallic sheet with the size of 60cm x 30cm x 0.25cm will
be cut in 2pcs of 10cm x 30cm x 0.25cm on the side part, 2pcs of
7.5cm x 20cm x 0.25cm on the front and back part, and 1pc of 20cm x
30cm x 0.25cm on the bottom part structure of the robot.
1.2 Attaching the carbon metallic sheet
The metallic sheet will be attach using an epoxy glue. The upper part
of the structure will be empty so that the solar panel will be attach
easily.
1.3 Assembling the stainless blades and wheels
The blades will be attach to the center bottom part of the robot
using a screwdriver. The lawnmower wheels will be attached to the
corners of the robot using a screwdriver and screws.
1.4 Putting the systems in the structure
The arduino will be attached at the center of the robot, the
ultrasonic sensor will be placed at the the top front of the robot for
the detection of obstacles.
1.5 Attaching of solar panel
The solar panel will be attach at the upper part of the structure
using a stick glue at the edges so it could absorb much solar energy
when directly at the sun.
2. Working on Electrical Circuits
During the procedure of our study, we will be consulted with an
authorized specialist ( Electrica Engineer ). During wiring of our robot,
we will be consulted by the specialist so it can help to make the
connection of the systems be accurate.
3. Proggraming
Since we're using an arduino processor, we can test our coding on
our robot since an arduino can only be tested when the robot is
already created. The coding of our robot will be consulted by our
robotic teacher since arduino is text based coding.
Risk and Safety
Before operating a robot, the researchers must dress appropriately
and utilize necessary safety equipment. Robots can carry out tasks
that are dangerous for humans to perform, such as lifting or moving
heavy objects, or working with hazardous substances.
