Smart Waste Bin

An embedded IoT system leveraging ultrasonic telemetry and inductive sensing for automated waste sorting with real-time physical actuator control.

TELEMETRY AT A GLANCE

  • Arduino / Embedded C firmware logic
  • Multi-sensor fusion (Ultrasonic + Inductive Proximity)
  • High-torque servo actuator gating mechanism

System Overview

This project was engineered to automate waste segregation at the source. By replacing manual sorting errors with embedded sensor detection, the system classifies metallic versus non-metallic refuse and automatically triggers directional disposal flaps.
