AUTOMATED ONION PEELING AND CUTTING MACHINE

Abstract

The significance of onions in cooking cannot be overstated, but peeling and chopping them can be a complex task due to the potential eye irritation caused by onion juice. To address this issue, various onion peeling machines have been developed with advancing technology. However, these machines are typically large and expensive, designed for industrial use. Therefore, the aim of this project is to create an automated onion peeling and cutting machine that is more accessible. The project utilizes hardware components such as a motor, colour sensor, power supply, relay, and Arduino Uno. The programming aspect of the project involves using the Arduino IDE software to ensure the automation of the machine. Additionally, sensors are employed to detect the colour changes during the peeling process. The prototype successfully peels and cuts onions automatically, providing a convenient solution for users.
