Abstract

This project introduces an innovative automatic clothes rack designed to protect clothes from rain using smart sensor technology. Unlike traditional clothes racks, this system is equipped with a rain detector, automatic moving wheels, and parking sensors that allow the rack to detect rain and move automatically to a covered area. The innovation helps working individuals and housewives avoid clothes getting wet when unexpected rain occurs, even when they are not at home. By automating the drying process, the system saves time, energy, and laundry costs while ensuring clothes remain dry and clean. The invention combines convenience, practicality, and smart-home technology to improve daily household activities.
