Arduino based Smart Controller for Footwear Mat

Washing footwear during the rainy season or when they become cumbersome due to dust/debris is time consuming. Its durability will be reduced if washed frequently. Based on the review, a smart mat to clean the dust particles and provide water to clean wet debris particle from footwear is proposed. This is a sensor based dry dust removal and wet debris removal by using ATmega328P microcontroller. This smart mat is operated by the power supply and by placing the foot on the smart mat to remove the debris/dust in bottom part of the footwear. Ultrasonic Sensor Module HC-SR04 -2 is used to detect the target (person). relav coil (5V) is used to operate switching mechanism. Air blower is used to blow out the sand and drv dust. Steel rod with brush activated bv DC motor through the simple gear train is used to suooIv water forciblv. The inlet and outlet facilities are used to provide water and remove dirt water. Smart cleaning matis designed to clean the debris/dirt stuck at the sole part of footwear to keep the interior environment clean and avoid slippery during walk on the floor. This makes the sole part of footwear clean and maintain a standard in every commercial and industrial sector by remaining hygiene. It is effective in commercial sites, hospitals, schools, colleges, public places, and homes. The proposed mat is effective against water, mud, oil and dirt out.
