Inventor(s) include Swastik Kadwey; Rishabh Kale; Diksha Patel; Nikita Patel; Sunil Singh; Arshad Khan; Rajni Yadav; Anjali Verma; Dr. Divya Jain; and Prof Pradeep Patel.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Movable Smart Dustbin The present invention relates to a movable smart dustbin system designed to improve waste management through automation, mobility, and intelligent sensing technologies. The system integrates a microcontroller-based control unit with multiple sensors and motorized components to enable the dustbin to detect users and move toward them for convenient waste disposal. By reducing the need for users to physically approach a stationary dustbin, the invention enhances hygiene and promotes proper waste disposal practices in residential, commercial, and public environments. The proposed system incorporates various electronic components including infrared sensors, proximity sensors, motor drivers, gear motors, and a wireless communication module. The sensors detect the presence of users or nearby obstacles, while the microcontroller processes the sensor inputs and generates control signals to operate the motorized wheels. Additionally, a Bluetooth communication module enables wireless control of the dustbin through a smartphone, allowing users to direct its movement remotely. The movable smart dustbin offers a cost-effective, energy-efficient, and user-friendly solution for modern waste management challenges. The integration of automation and wireless communication improves convenience and cleanliness while encouraging responsible waste disposal behavior. The invention can be implemented in various environments such as homes, offices, hospitals, campuses, and public areas, and it has the potential to be further enhanced through IoT connectivity, autonomous navigation, and smart city waste management systems."
