Hygiene Guardian: Proximity - Activated Sanitizing Dustbin with AI Vision

In metropolitan settings, efficient trash disposal is essential because of growing public health concerns and the potential for disease spread from improperly handled rubbish. By combining IoT and image recognition technology, the Hygiene Guardian provides a clever solution. Human identification is made possible using an AI model that was trained utilizing Edge Impulse at the system's heart. Contactless disposal is made possible by the dustbin's lid opening automatically when a human is recognized. By preventing animals from reaching the bin and lowering hygiene concerns, this minimizes contamination and garbage dispersal. The device has an automatic sanitation option to improve cleanliness even further. After each use, a pump motor sprays disinfectant inside and outside the bin to reduce the growth of dangerous bacteria and viruses. In public areas with heavy traffic, when hand cleaning is difficult, this is especially advantageous. The Hygiene Guardian is an example of how automation and the Internet of Things may enhance public sanitation and offer a scalable solution for cleaner urban settings.
