Automatic ablution machine using vision sensor

Abstract

Water is something that is so cheap yet we take it for granted, but we need to conserve this life-sustaining resource. Based on research, a Muslim will use six to nine liters of water during ablution, adding that only two liters of water was used for the whole ritual. Because of that we need a machine that would enable Muslims to save water every time they perform the pre-prayer cleansing ritual. This machine allowed a Muslim to perform the cleansing ritual without water spillage and is environment-friendly as it encouraged water conservation. This machine use camera as sensor and servo motor as an actuator that is embedded on crane to turn and open it based on and object under the crane. It means that if there is an object under the crane, it will be opened, and when there is no object under the crane, it will be closed. Not just open and close the crane, we also use an adaptive method that detect how much water that Muslim need in ablution, example the amount of water that is needed for rinse the mouth of course is more than wash the nose. Not only for ablution, this machine can be implemented in every field, hand wash, kitchen, bathroom, wherever place whether there is crane there in order to protect water and environments.
