Abstract

Electronics has become one of the sectors where technological advances have seen significant expansion in our environment, such as in daily activities and business industries. Electronics technology is one element of assisting in the facilitation of human activity, creating a variety of practical and efficient electronic equipment to assist humans in meeting their demands. Folding clothes is one of the most common jobs. However, folding a lot of clothes takes a lot of time and energy. Working women who are unable to manage time at home often face this problem. These problems have resulted in solutions that make activities easier and save time. Some of the tasks that people normally perform today may be performed by automated machines with faster working procedures to help improve the results of laundry operations. Folding clothes can be done semi-automatically with a machine that can be operated using an android-based mobile phone. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate basic clothes folding machine as well as a semi-automatic system that combines mechanical and electrical design. The project also includes a description of electromechanical devices that can fold shirts, pants, towels, and other clothing. The machine can also calculate how many items are folded automatically. The project requires an Arduino Uno as a microcontroller, a Servo Motor as an actuator, a Wi-Fi Module, an IR Sensor, and software components. The data communication procedure in this system is controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller. With the use of infrared sensors and servo motors, this machine can also work semi-automatically. The servo motor movement that drives the folding board is the output system of the machine. The clothes-folding device uses a microcontroller with a servo motor as a practical means for folding clothes. The results show that by using this technology, people can save a lot of time folding clothes when compared to the traditional way. This project's outcomes may also be used to test and determine how many items of clothes have been folded using different measures depending on the kind of clothes.
