About

Saroja Dhanapal is a researcher at the forefront of integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with environmental sustainability, with a primary focus on smart waste management systems. Her most-cited work, "Automatic Garbage Collector using Sensors and Internet of Things," introduces an innovative IoT-based solution that automates waste collection through a sophisticated integration of a line follower robot, ESP32 microcontroller, ultrasonic sensors, and a servo motor equipped with electromagnets. This system autonomously detects, gathers, and transports trash without human intervention, addressing critical challenges in urban sanitation and environmental hygiene. While her citation count is currently emerging, the practical relevance of her work positions her as a promising contributor to the growing field of smart city technologies. Dhanapal’s research demonstrates a clear commitment to leveraging sensor networks and automation to solve real-world problems, making her contributions particularly valuable for students and researchers interested in IoT applications for sustainable development. Her work exemplifies how interdisciplinary approaches combining robotics, sensor technology, and environmental engineering can create impactful, scalable solutions for modern urban challenges.
