Project Name:
Smart Garbage Bin
Description:
This is a prototype of a smart garbage bin. It allows garbage bins to be more convenient to use. One of the main functions of this prototype is that the lid of the bin will open automatically when it detects a hand is coming nearby. It is also able to make a siren sound when the garbage bin is almost full. This would be able to remind the owner to empty the garbage bin in time.
I developed this prototype for the 2018 Mars Style Robotics Coding Contest. I went through a complete product development process, from asking potential customers to answer the surveys, developing the concept, configuring the prototype to finalizing the product. It was an unforgettable experience and I won the Excellence Award in this competition.
