13. Applications and implications¶
¿WHAT WILL HE DO?¶
I want to design an intelligent garbage can for people with disabilities and people without disabilities who are in environments such as offices, health centers, laboratories, educational institutions, the device consists of an HC-SRO4 ultrasound sensor, which can detect the movement of people. And after detecting the person at an approximate distance, the lid of the smart bin opens to a suitable height so that the person can throw the waste and then when the person moves away the lid closes, this type of facility is easier for people with disabilities of smart bins. The main attraction of smart trash cans is that they open by sensor and you never have to touch the lid of the trash can.
¿WHO HAS DONE WHAT BEFORE?¶
Search the internet for similar work previously done by other people with this movement system. Some of the people who carried out this type of work have another type of system, they have used motion sensors, infrared sensors for their projects, when looking for more information I was surprised that in other places they also carried out this type of work, but larger scale with more robotized devices. Lillian Moller Gilbreth (1878-1972) was the inventor of the pedal dustbin. Lillian, mother of 12 children, had a great concern so that the work in the houses was managed as quickly as possible. Thus, the women of that time could also work outside the home, as Lillian herself did. Tativa, Suprivanto, Mukhammad, Faishal and Iswanto (2016) show in their research on Scooby Smart Trash can, it is a trash can equipped with artificial intelligence through algorithms that are capable of capturing and cleaning garbage thrown by people, In addition, the can is called 7 intelligent because it acts like a scoobydoo in a children’s cartoon, since the can would react if there is garbage thrown, in effect, the can catches it and cleans it Tativa et al. (2016) indicate that this study presents a search algorithm that uses a cell decomposition algorithm in which the algorithms are used to create a map of the robot path and the fuzzy algorithm as one of the AI algorithms in the coordination of routes Tativa et al. (2016) concluded that by using the combined algorithm, the robot is capable of chasing carelessly discarded garbage, but could not find the shortest distance.
¿WHAT MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS WILL BE USED?¶
To make the smart trash can, the following materials will be used, such as 0.5mm MDF, 5v ultrasound sensor, Arduino, MG995 15kg-CM servomotor, cables for its implementation.
¿WHERE WILL THEY COME FROM?¶
The sensor and the integrated circuits and other electronic components are available in the laboratory for the production of the intelligent garbage can.
¿HOW MUCH WILL THEY COST?¶
The total cost of the project is approximately 118 soles.
¿WHAT PARTS AND SYSTEMS WILL BE MANUFACTURED?¶
The smart trash can will be manufactured using materials found on the market such as MDF, the ultrasound sensor, the servomotor, within the Fab Lab laboratory the Arduino was made using the equipment and machines found.
¿WHAT PROCESSES WILL BE USED?¶
¿WHAT QUESTIONS NEED TO BE ANSWERED?¶
Does the ultrasound sensor detect the movement of the person before they approach the garbage can? Does programming the inputs make the outputs work correctly? Can the user with a disability easily access the garbage can without any difficulty?
¿HOW WILL IT BE EVALUATED?¶
The evaluation will be by spirals, beginning with the design of the PCB board with the correct operation of the Sensors and the servomotor. Evaluate the proper functioning of the intelligent garbage can. thus, these projects were added with additional security so that people with disabilities are facilitated in handling the smart bin. The user-friendliness of the device with its functionality and ease of use will make users use it.
¿WHAT PROCESSES WILL BE USED?
In this case, the work with the seeed XIAO - RP2040 device is changed for the final project, since it is an electronic component that consumes less energy.
