Automatic Garbage Collector Project for students, project features a silent garbage collector robot using RFID for door detection, triggering the house buzzer and LED. It navigates with IR sensors along a path to collect garbage, powered by Arduino and a 4-wheel motor drive
Automatic Garbage Collector project is about making a quiet robot that collects garbage. It uses a special card near the door to know when to come inside. When it arrives, it makes a buzzer sound and flashes a light. The robot follows a dark path using sensors, going from door to door to pick up garbage. It’s all controlled by an Arduino and a motor driver to move smoothly and quietly around homes, Automatic Garbage Collector Project for students
