ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
We would like to express our deep gratitude and appreciation to those who had
contributed to the completion of this project. First, we would like to dedicate a special
things to our thesis coordinator and project adviser, Engr. Rogel C. Jumawan and
Engr. Edwin Bermillo for the knowledge, support, advices and guidance that he gave
to us in completing our final year project.
Next, we would like to express our deep gratitude to Engr. Medilyn Elena M.
Alamazan for all the information and guidance given to us. Also we would like to
acknowledge with greater appreciation to Mr. Edward Skinner in accepting our
request to become our English Critic, and Engr. Elsa N. Calvez for being our
Statistical Critic.
We also thank, PAGASA Weather Station for letting us to conduct a survey in
their company that really help us in gathering and analysing the evaluation of our
thesis project.
We would also like to have the acknowledgement with much appreciation to our
family members for their encouragement, understanding and concern. To the other
BSCpE students, who willingly participated on our survey, thank you very much for
your help to evaluate our thesis project.
Finally, thanks to those who have contributed and help us directly or not to the
success of these project whom we have not mentioned their name specifically.
Without them, this project would not be successful. Thank you.

ABTRACT
This thesis described the design of an Automated Garbage Disposal Robot Line
Follower for automation of garbage disposal; it makes use of embedded microcontroller
device called Gizduino+ ATmega324.
Automatic Garbage Disposal Robot Line Follower using Gizduino+
ATmega324 Microcontroller represents a great saving in time and effort in terms of
disposing garbage. The user will just set a specific time until it triggers then the
prototype will start to do the function and there are given stations in order to collect
garbage.
