Abstract

Manual clothes folding requires considerable time and effort, making it necessary to develop a more efficient and practical solution for everyday life. This study aims to design and build automatic clothes folding device based on Arduino Uno, equipped with heating and fragrance features to improve the quality of folding results. The device design encompasses the integration of mechanical and electronic components controlled via three control buttons, making operation simple and efficient. Testing was conducted on three types of clothing, namely t-shirts, shirts, and jerseys, considering material variations such as cotton, polyester, and canvas. The test results show that the device can fold clothes in an average time of 6.67 seconds, faster than the manual method which requires an average of 7.05 seconds. The heating and fragrance feature also proved to function well, producing neatly folded clothes with a fresh scent. The system operates stably, although folding performance is influenced by the type of fabric used. This device provides added value in the clothing packaging process and has the potential to become a practical solution that enhances efficiency and comfort in everyday clothes folding activities.
