Arduino UNO based Automated Folding System for Textiles

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to implement an automate shirt folding model that is more convenient and efficient. The proposed machine automatically folds the shirts without human assistance using embedded systems. Wood sheets, a plastic holding board, gear motors, Arduino-UNO, a relay, a power supply, and a mechanical set-up were utilized to construct this model. The methods utilized to create the machine include relay actuation, time delay, speed regulation, and Arduino programming. The overall strategy was to create a machine that folds shirts by moving a piece of the holding board with gear motors. An idea for a machine that can fold garments was provided here. Shirt was picked as a test focus among several categories of clothing. The process flow of laundry typically includes washing, drying, and folding. This concept was put forth as a tool to help individuals fold more quickly and move on to the next chorus. This equipment was designed to help those workingin environments where there were plenty of shirts involved, such as laundromats, hotels, hospitals, and many other locations.
