Abstract: The Automated Medical Waste Segregation Machine Using Arduino Controller is an intelligent waste management system designed to automatically classify and segregate medical waste into appropriate categories. In hospitals and clinics, medical waste is often segregated manually, which increases the risk of infection, contamination, and human error. This invention introduces an Arduino-based automated system integrated with sensors and a motorized segregation mechanism to detect and separate different types of medical waste such as metallic waste (needles, blades), wet waste (biological materials), and dry waste (plastics, paper). The system ensures safe, hygienic, and contactless waste disposal. By combining embedded electronics, sensor technology, and mechanical automation, this project provides a low-cost, compact, and efficient solution for small hospitals, clinics, laboratories, and healthcare centers. it relates to an Arduino-based automated system designed to segregate medical waste using sensor-based detection and mechanical sorting mechanisms.
