TITLE Eco-Friendly Automatic Car Washing Robot
ABSTRACT Conventional car washing uses 120-150 liters of water per vehicle and requires high manual effort, causing inefficiency and environmental damage. This work presents an eco-friendly automatic car washing robot that improves efficiency through automation and resource optimization. The system performs spraying, soap application, brushing, rinsing, and drying using a microcontroller-based control system. A water recycling unit filters and reuses wastewater, achieving about 70-80% reuse and reducing consumption. Biodegradable detergents further lower chemical impact. The system follows a predefined sequence with controlled actuators for proper positioning and uniform cleaning. It reduces cleaning time to 25-30 seconds, lowers water usage, and ensures consistent performance, offering a sustainable and scalable solution for urban vehicle cleaning. Overall, it enhances reliability and operational efficiency significantly.
