Application of voice command controlled drawer and door open and close control system in furniture design

Abstract

This study aims to design a system that can be remotely controlled by using electronic technology regarding interior equipment elements in the opening and closing of furniture doors and drawers to provide ease of use, time, and energy savings in the actions of all users and especially disabled and elderly individuals. For this purpose, a system design that can be controlled remotely with bluetooth-connected smart phones has been designed. Sub-systems such as Arduino software and servo motor control are used in the remote voice-controlled on-off system of the designed cabinet door and drawer. Sound-controlled system design with Arduino consists of two stages: hardware (sensing system, interpretation system, motion system, communication system, and power system) and software (Arduino software that responds to algorithms determined according to remote voice commands). This system is a functional design that determines its direction and moves according to commands given remotely, based on pre-written and defined algorithmic codes. As a result, the remote controllability of the cabinet drawer, which was designed using a remote control and robotic technologies, is realized practically with the mobile application. Thus, it has been ensured that smart furniture, which can work on a task-based basis in various areas with sound detection, can work autonomously.
