HOME ASSISTANT as a system simply means making your home digital and being a personal assistant to you
It is digitizing of the home, housework or household activity.
It includes centralized control of appliances, your daily schedule, communication system, and inventory management.
It will work as an assistant to your needs and to your personal life. It will be an interactive device to which you will be able to talk and converse and can also assign tasks to remind you or keep in a database.
It can be used to increase the security of your house by using face recognition techniques as well as motion sensor and alerting system. It can act as mode of communication between two rooms or multiple rooms.
It will be able to learn from the environment and act accordingly. Inventory management is also implemented in this system which will be able to alert you about the things you are running low at your place.

This project demonstrates an industrial robotic arm’s working and how it can be used for various purposes, especially in a sorting warehouse environment.
This project’s goal was to implement image processing that can be used to identify different objects and use a depth sensor to calculate the distance between the object and the arm. Doing this gives us the capability to automate various workflows that are prone to human errors.
Especially in big warehouses that require constant sorting and automated shipping procedures, this concept can be easily adapted to be super-efficient with less probability of errors.
Hardware used:
- Servos
- Arduino
- DC motors
- Ultrasound Sensors
