Eco-friendly Environment with RFID Communication Imparted Waste Collecting Robot

Abstract

Modernization of the restaurants using electronics and communication is needed by imparting the smart technology. The technology is to be adopted for restaurants to keep the premises clean and green. Human interpretation is to be reduced to impart the technology. Smart waste collecting system enabled to develop a methodology to collect the waste material into the dustbin provided at the guided robot. An RFID (Radio-frequency identification) communication is adopted to communicate the table occupier with the mobile robot. An RFID tag is provided to each table and an RFID reader is equipped with guided robot. The command signal outputted by the table occupier will be transmitted to the central control room using RF transmitter. RF receiver at the control room will receive the signal and fed as input to the microcontroller ARM7. The microcontroller will output the necessary commands to the robot to collect the waste material from the particular table. To drive the robot to the required table, a path finding mechanism has been adopted using optimum path algorithm. An IR sensor assembly is equipped with the robot to follow the specified optimum path. The status of the task is communicated to the control room by imparting IEEE 802.15.4 communication device. The experimental results encouraged to implement the developed mechanism for real time applications.
