CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

5.1 Conclusion With all the data gathered, the developers of this study presented a simple application of electronic principles that would help eliminate some problems of the common society regarding energy consumption. This project is a battery-operated device so it can be classified as environment-friendly unlike the gas-operated type of lawnmower that produces smoke and leads to air pollution. Through the use of solar panel, solar energy would be the second source of energy that would support the battery which would make the duration of battery charge last longer. One of the important components of the proposed system is the programmed microcontroller that processes and responds to the data it receives and sends. By means of using a programmed microcontroller, the project can operate automatically based from the program within it. The major problem stated in this document was broken down to identify the problems more specifically to easily design, build, test and refine the developed solutions to these problems. After doing so, the developed specific parts of the system were interconnected to have an engineered product. The developed system would benefit the lawn owners, and the gardener. The gardener or the lawn owners would no longer spend a longer time for the beautification of the garden. Thus, time and effort will be minimized giving them a more beautiful lawn garden and a healthy environment.

5.2 Recommendations A list of upgrades and improvements is suggested by the developers for more efficient and enhanced implementation of the system.
Motor with Higher Torque upgrading the motors of wheels which are being

used in this system by the one that has higher torque will lead to a better performance in the mobility of the Hybrid Lawnbot.
Stepper Motor - DC brush motors rotate continuously when voltage is applied to

their terminals. Stepper motors, on the other hand, effectively have multiple "toothed" electromagnets arranged around a central gear-shaped piece of iron. The electromagnets are energized by an external control circuit, such as a microcontroller. This motor can be turned by a precise angle. Using this motor for the Hybrid Lawnbot will make the use of remote control more accurate.
Adjustable Cutter Height by using adjustable cutter height, you can choose the

height of your lawn depending on its type because it is easy to adjust the cutter height of your lawnbot.
Solar Panel with Higher Wattage upgrading the solar panel will make the

charging of battery faster than the usual.

Rain Detector used to make sure that the solar panel and the circuit of the robot

are safe from the rain and wet area in the garden.
