This study will design mobile trash-can that will be capable of following a designed path in a tourist attraction that are indoor. The project has two part, moving part and notification part. The main microcontroller for moving part is Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+, it will be connected to the infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensor. This trash-can will move on the black surface and stop on white surface, this is achieved by using infrared sensor. The trash-can will stop when encounter an obstacle by using the ultrasonic sensor. There are two motors on two-side of trashcan to control the movement of the trash-can. The microcontroller for notification part is Arduino UNO, it will be connected to the infrared sensor and ultrasonic sensor. While the infrared sensor detected the trash inside reached the limit height, then a notification will send to the cleaner’s smartphone. There is an ultrasonic sensor on top of the cap to create an automation cap. When the ultrasonic sensor detected the obstacle in front of it, then the cap will open.
