In this session, we’ll use Arduino and servo motors + ultrasonic sensors to transform a regular dustbin into a smart device with a lid that opens automatically for a set time interval when an item is brought near it for disposal. This removes the need for any physical contact and the use of mechanical levers operated by hand/foot.
