RoboWash: Automated laundry collection system
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
In modern households, the demand for automation has extended beyond cleaning and
cooking to include laundry management. As daily schedules become increasingly hectic, the
time-consuming and labor-intensive task of handling laundry presents a significant
inconvenience. To address this challenge, our project focuses on developing an innovative
robot designed specifically for laundry applications, equipped with a weight sensor to
measure the weight of clothes accurately. This robot aims to streamline the laundry process,
enhance efficiency, and reduce human intervention, making it an invaluable asset in
contemporary homes.
The primary motivation behind this project is to alleviate the burden of laundry
chores, which often consume substantial amounts of time and effort. Traditional laundry
methods require manual sorting, loading, and monitoring, which can be particularly
challenging for individuals with busy lifestyles, physical limitations, or large families. By
integrating automation into the laundry process, our robot aims to provide a seamless and
convenient solution that not only simplifies the task but also ensures optimal handling of
clothes based on their weight.
A crucial aspect of our laundry robot’s functionality is its ability to navigate

autonomously within the home environment. This is achieved through a combination of
preprogrammed paths and real-time obstacle detection. The robot's navigation system uses a
map of the household, allowing it to follow pre-set routes to move between rooms, laundry
baskets, and washing machines efficiently. The heart of our laundry robot's control system is
an Arduino microcontroller, chosen for its versatility, ease of use, and extensive community
support. Arduino boards are well-suited for prototyping and implementing embedded
systems, making them ideal for our project. The firmware developed for this system
processes sensor data and controls the actuators, ensuring precise and efficient operation. The
software algorithms implemented for weight calculation, sorting, and handling are optimized
for performance and reliability.

To ensure safe and efficient travel, the robot is equipped with various sensors,
including infrared (IR) sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and LIDAR. These sensors enable the
robot to detect and avoid obstacles in its path. When an obstacle is detected, the robot’s
control system dynamically adjusts its route to navigate around it, ensuring continuous
operation without human intervention. This combination of preprogrammed navigation and
real-time obstacle avoidance allows the robot to operate autonomously, even in dynamic
home environments.
The development of a laundry robot equipped with a weight sensor represents a

significant advancement in home automation technology. By addressing the challenges
associated with traditional laundry methods, this project aims to provide a convenient,
efficient, and user-friendly solution for modern households. Through careful design,
implementation, and integration of advanced technologies, including preprogrammed
navigation and real-time obstacle detection, the laundry robot has the potential to transform
the way we manage our laundry, ultimately improving our quality of life. This project not
only highlights the possibilities of automation in everyday tasks but also paves the way for
future innovations.

make up the robot and its body and behavior.
Tariq Younis et al., [9]: The paper proposes a new algorithm for Robotino robots to
navigate and avoid obstacles using infrared sensors. This algorithm utilizes a Straight-Line
Equation adaptation mechanism to ensure Robotino reaches its destination while detecting
and maneuvering around static or dynamic obstacles using strategically placed infrared
sensors. The algorithm is designed to handle both static and dynamic obstacles, making it
suitable for various real-world applications where the environment may change
