The Automatic T-Shirt Folding Machine using Arduino and SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor is an innovative system designed to automate the process of folding clothes efficiently and accurately. The system is developed using an Arduino Uno microcontroller, three SG90 servo motors, and an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the presence and position of the T-shirt, while the Arduino Uno processes the sensor data and controls the servo motors to perform the folding operation automatically. The adapter power supply provides the required power for the entire system. The servo motors are arranged in such a way that they fold different sections of the T-shirt sequentially to achieve a neat and compact fold. This automation reduces manual effort, saves time, and ensures consistent folding quality. The proposed system is suitable for domestic laundry applications, garment industries, and textile shops where fast and efficient cloth folding is required. The project demonstrates the effective integration of sensors, microcontrollers, and motor control mechanisms for smart home automation and industrial applications.     Objectives
