An automatic public toilet cleaning system.

Abstract

Toilet hygiene is one factor for the user to use the toilet. Most public toilets in Uganda have poor hygiene though various. campaigns have been carried out to improve cleanliness. But these things rarely happen due to inevitable way of usage of the users or as a result of the users' own attitude. Therefore, automatic public toilet cleaning system consist of robotic mechanism has been created aimed to help in keeping public toilets clean. The application of integrated robotics is becoming increasingly common place in day to day applications. The idea presented in this report seeks to provide convenient and a hassle-free means of cleaning public toilets whereas maintaining hygienic and sanitary standards. By using an infrared sensor to detect the moving in and out of humans in a toilet, the cleaning operation is fully automated and requires low operational power. Furthermore, a robotic arm is part of the module, so as to thoroughly clean the toilet bowl. Such a provision will limit the rote of manpower in maintenance of public, toilets to a great degree, and thus, serves as a wilt-win situation; a revolting objective is accomplished with considerable ease.
