Internet of Things Oriented Smart Waste Segregation Robot Design using Intelligent Sensors with Controller Association

This study presents a comprehensive system for automated waste segregation using IoT technology. The system integrates various sensors and actuators to classify waste into dry, wet, and metallic categories, facilitating efficient recycling and disposal processes. An Arduino Uno microcontroller serves as the central control unit, orchestrating the operation of the system components. An ultrasonic sensor detects the presence of garbage upon disposal, triggering the activation of inductive proximity and soil moisture sensors. Based on moisture content and metallic properties, the waste is classified accordingly. A servo motor adjusts the position of bins to receive the categorized waste, enhancing segregation accuracy. Performance evaluations demonstrate the system's effectiveness in accurately classifying waste with high precision and reliability. The system's compact design, low power consumption, and ease of integration make it suitable for deployment in diverse environments, including residential, commercial, and industrial settings. By harnessing collaborative IoT technology, this system offers a promising solution to optimize waste management practices, reduce environmental impact, and promote sustainable resource utilization. Its implementation holds potential for mitigating challenges associated with conventional waste disposal methods, contributing to the realization of a cleaner and greener future.
