Abstract
One of the household chores that all housewives, regardless of whether they work or not, must perform daily is folding clothes. When there are many clothes to fold and need to fold them correctly based on the type of clothing, folding clothes takes a lot of time, and elderly people find it difficult to do this. Finding the appropriate garments will be challenging when more and more clothing is not folded. Folding clothes can be hectic and tiring for some people as it involves physical work and skills. Saving time and lest effort in folding clothes are the main goals of this innovation which lead to creation of Automatic Laundry Folder Machine (A.L.F.M). The Automatic Laundry Folder Machine (A.L.F.M.) was designed to work as intended, with servo motors, Arduino Nano, and Uno serving as the major technological foundation. By pressing the correct button for the right type of clothing to fold, this invention helps the user while they wait for the machine to finish. In other words, user can simply press the corresponding button on the panel to fold a specific type of fabric. The primary focus would be on the elderly because some of them might not have the energy to complete physical tasks around the house. They would be able to work more effectively because of the additional time and energy saved. The device that will offer a neat one-way fold for clothes may be used by busy employees at the clothing department location. Starting at RM200, the pricing is within reach. All in all, the A.L.F.M. wants to help everyone fold their garments more quickly and easily.
