Budding: Budding obtained the idea of the lawn mower after seeing a machine in a local
cloth mill which used a cutting cylinder mounted on a bench to trim cloth to make a

smooth finish after weaving. Budding realized that a similar concept would enable the
cutting of grass if the mechanism could be mounted in a wheeled frame to make the
blades rotate close to the lawn's surface.[4] Ms. Lanka Priyanka: In this paper they have
fabricated grass cutting machine with tempered blades are attached to this grass cutter.
This grass cutter is manually operated as well as automatic operated. The materials
commonly used GI sheet, motor, wheel, Al sheet, switch, wire, square pipe and
insulating material.[6] P.Bulski: Bulski identify the sound created by the machine is
making noice pollution. He research on sound created by the machine and giving the
result how to remove the sound while cutting the grass of lawn or ground. As looking to

they have prepared manually operated grass cutter with spiral roller blades due to spiral
blades increases the efficiency of cutting. For adjusting the height reel cutter is
component placed on grass cutter. This grass cutter used to cut the grass uniformly and
also it can cut the different types grasses.[10] Randsome: The first was produced by
range of very popular chain-driven mowers. About this time, an operator could ride
behind animals that pulled the large machines. These were the first riding mowers. In
the United States, gasoline-powered lawn mowers were first manufactured in 1914 by
Ideal Power mower.[11] Thomas Green & Son: He introduced a mower called the Silens
Messor (meaning silent cutter), which used a chain drive to transmit power from the rear
roller to the cutting cylinder. These machines were lighter and quieter than the gear-
driven machines that preceded them, although they were slightly more expensive.The

rise in popularity of lawn sports helped prompt the spread of the invention. Lawn
mowers became a more efficient alternative to the scythe and domesticated grazing
animals.1
The subjects with the age between 20-70 years were selected through the
region of peninsular Malaysia. The observation, measurement and interview (in 2013),
204 hand held grass cutter workers participated in an examination between August
2013 to December 2013. Workers involved in the study were voluntary for occupational
safety and health research under each contractor responsibility. The HAVS
network association. Part of the question was asked about workers ages and working
experience in grass cutter activity. The information obtain is important to investigate the
disability at hand due to grass cutting operation based on working duration. During
physical observation, author looked for colour changes in the fingers phalanges and any
A dynamometer was used to determine the worker hand grip strength force before and
after operating the hand held grass cutter machine. Grip strength was measured in
kilogram (kg) units. Workers were instructed to grasp the handle of dynamometer for 5
seconds and perform the total action for 3 times before and after worker. The data were
record manually in the HAVS questionnaires. The mean and total value of grip force for
both hands was obtained and used for comparison between workers age. This
assessment was based on Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology. The numerical

through colour changes at fingers phalanges. Each fingers phalange has its own
numerical value and total summation of the numerical value for each hand is 33. The
distal phalanges numerical are 1, middle phalanges are 2 and proximal phalanges are
3. The total numerical scoring for each hand will represent the severity stage of vascular
and sensorineural diseases. The severity stage is in the form of a numerical number
with its greater and smaller stage 3 and 0, respectively for both hands. This assessment
was based on the Stockholm Workshop scale for the classification of HAVS according
to grading system. SPSS v19.0 software were used to calculate the frequencies and
means for the hand grip strength as well as hand numerical scoring values associated
Drones of various shapes, sizes, and functionalities have emerged over the past few
decades, and their civilian applications are becoming increasingly appealing. Flexible,
low-cost, and high-resolution remote sensing systems that use drones as platforms are
important for filling data gaps and supplementing the capabilities of crewed/manned
aircraft and satellite remote sensing systems. Here, we refer to this growing remote
sensing initiative as drone remote sensing and explain its unique advantages in forestry
remote sensing to surveying forests, mapping canopy gaps, measuring forest canopy
height, tracking forest wildfires, and supporting intensive forest management. The
benefits of drone remote sensing include low material and operational costs, flexible
control of spatial and temporal resolution, high-intensity data collection, and the

IV. Methodology
The goal of promoting environmental sustainability through the use of a grass cutter
drone to clean and green landscapes can be achieved through several steps. Firstly,
the hypothesis that the grass cutter drone is an effective and efficient tool for
can involve comparing the performance of the grass cutter drone with traditional
methods of grass cutting, such as manual labor or the use of lawnmowers. The
grass growth and using the grass cutter drone to cut the grass in one area while using
traditional methods in another area. The performance of the grass cutter drone can be
evaluated based on criteria such as time taken, precision of cutting, and overall
collecting data on the performance of the grass cutter drone, it can be determined
whether the hypothesis holds true and whether the drone is a viable solution for
