Design and fabrication of smart cup sorting system for a campus cafeteria / Aifa Mohd Irfan

Conveyor belt is a convenient system to transport loads along a certain distance, usually heavy loads through a long distance that would require huge human work and energy. By using the conveyor system, it can save a whole lot of amounts of time and energy. Evolution of technology has made the human life simpler, by making a machine that will help them through their daily lives. A simple example can be look through our daily routine such as at the cafeteria, where customers do not return their used dishes in the bin according to their colours. This is inconvenient for the staff since each stall usually has their own kitchen utensils. The customer mixing them up in the bin would be another work for the staff to sort and collect their plates and cups. The main goal of this project is to help ease the burden of the staff by creating a smart sorting system using Arduino that will detect the colour of the cups and sort them into their designated cabinets. One of the methodologies used is by observing different cafeterias from different universities and find out their dishes system. The expected result of this project is to help the customers and the staff to ease their burden by collecting neatly stacked cups in the cabinets. Other than that, it is also expected for the students to learn and find out more about Arduino system and coding.
