Abstract

Washing clothes, drying up the clothes are the routine to the majority of the people. However, most of the people claimed that the process of drying up the clothes is the most challenging part due to the unpredictable weather in Malaysia. This project introduces Hang –and –Go: A Smart Laundry Hanging System that can automatically detect the presence of rain and sunlight and intelligently provide shelter for the clothes to protect them from the rain. This project is began with the objectives of studying people’s experience in doing the laundry process at home and small business scale, investigate existing laundry hanging system, develop a low cost laundry hanging system for household usage and lastly evaluate the performance of the developed system. In this project, a prototype is constructed using the combination of several tools which include Lego Mindstroms EV3, Tetrix, and also Arduino. On top of that, the prototype is targeted for the household usage and also for small business scale use. In order to collect the users’ experiences, problems faced and their view on the suggested solution, the research methodology uses in this project are interview and survey. Survey result shows that majority of the people agreed that the Hang-and-Go is an efficient approach that would help busy people to dry their clothes without human supervision. A series of experiment were conducted to test the functionality of the system. As a conclusion, Hang-and-Go is an unmanned robotic approach to automatically improve human on their laundry process
