Development of a Smart Charity Box Robot Based on Microcontroller

Abstract

Nowadays, many people use technology rather than using their energy. In Indonesia, many people also use technology as a tool to make work easier. This is because many people think that carrying out work manually wastes too much time and energy. Like distributing charity boxes. Usually, charity boxes in mosques are circulated by being distributed from one person to the person next to them, and so on. This can drain energy, especially for elderly congregants. To overcome this, we came up with an idea to develop a smart charity box robot that can walk on its own with the help of lines. With this smart charity box robot, it is also hoped that it can create comfort for mosque congregations in terms of distributing charity boxes, namely how smart charity boxes can work automatically. The aim of this research is that by developing this robot, it is hoped that it will make it easier for mosque congregations to move charity boxes, which are usually transferred from one person to another. The research method used is research and development (R&D) with 9 stages, namely, 1) potential and problems, 2) data collection, 3) product design, 4) design validation, 5) design revision, 6) trial product, 7) product revision, 8) trial use, 9) product revision. The results of this research are that charity box robots are very worthy of being developed and mass-produced
