        abstract = {In the current era of technological development and awareness about the environment, there is a growing interest in sustainable and autonomous systems that can optimize energy consumption with minimal human interaction. The Solar-Powered Grass Cutter with GPS Navigation and Blade Adjustment combines sustainable solar power and autonomous systems into one efficient and intelligent system for lawn cutting. The system consists of a microcontroller-based control unit that manages several modules, including solar power charging, GPS navigation, ultrasonic obstacle detection, and blade adjustment. A solar panel harnesses the power of the sun to produce electrical energy that is stored in a lithium-ion battery for continuous use. The GPS module is responsible for systematic path planning, allowing the grass cutter to follow predetermined paths such as squares, rectangles, and triangles. Ultrasonic sensors serve as the safety system, which detects obstacles in real time and instructs the system to stop or turn away. A vertical blade adjustment system enables the grass cutter to adjust its cutting height depending on the density of the grass and the terrain. The system uses an L293D motor driver to control the two DC motors that provide locomotion and a BLDC motor for high-speed cutting. This paper discusses the system design, approach, difficulties, limitations, and future prospects of the proposed design.},
