Development of Automatic Umbrella Rolling System

Abstract

In this paper, we discuss the automatic umbrella rolling system. This system can roll an umbrella and fasten it automatically. This system holds strap of umbrella with clip and then turns umbrella. After turning the umbrella, Velcro tapes on both end of the strap are fastened. The clip is opened by a motor, and the motor is connected by wire with clip. This system uses light sensors to determine three things. The first is whether the clip is opened or not. The second is whether the motor rotated enough to open the clip and the third is whether there is an object between the claws of the clip. Arduino controls all motion of the system. The umbrella's body is usually wet after use. When we touch an umbrella, our hands get wet. With this system, we do not need to touch the body of an umbrella. Therefor our hands will not get wet.
