Solar Powered Smart Bush Cutter Using Image Processing Technology
The Smart Bush Cutter is an innovative solution designed to improve safety, efficiency, and environmental sustainability in vegetation management. Powered by solar energy, it reduces reliance on fossil fuels and features a rechargeable battery for extended use. The device employs advanced image processing through a Raspberry Pi and Pi Camera to identify living organisms and detect obstacles like stones, ensuring precision and minimizing unintended harm. Ultrasonic sensors (USS) enhance real-time obstacle detection, while an app enables remote and manual operation for accurate cutting. By combining solar power, robotics, and modern sensor technology, the Smart Bush Cutter is ideal for both personal and commercial applications. This innovation represents a sustainable approach to outdoor care, integrating renewable energy and advanced automation.
