Proposal of Automatic Dust Catcher Robot of Clothes Using Kinect

Abstract

If you come into contact with others with dust or animal hair on your clothes, there is a high possibility that you will make the other person develop an allergy or not be able to establish good communication. Thus, it is necessary to remove dusts and more from your clothes before going out. However, this work is done manually, which is time-consuming and time-consuming. To solve this problem, last time we developed a robot that automatically removes dust from clothes on hangers with a brush. The robot holds and pinches the clothes between two brushes and removes the dust by moving the brushes from top to bottom. It also removes dust from the entire clothes by repeatedly extending the arm with the brush attached and removing the dust. However, this robot could only operate for one garment at a time. In this paper, we develop a robot that can continuously care for multiple clothes. First, this robot rotates the hanger rack. Next, use the Kinect camera to look at the front of the brush and stop the rotation of the hanger rack when the clothes come. Third, remove the dust from the clothes in the same way as the previous robot we created. By repeating the above operation, multiple clothes can be removed dust in succession. The operation time of this robot is about two minutes. All the user has to do is put the clothes on the hanger, press the start button on the robot, and the robot will remove the dust from the clothes. While the robot is running, the user can spend his time doing other things. For example, by using this robot, you can make better use of your valuable morning time for yourself instead of using it to dust your clothes.
