Motorized system for opening and closing a domestic dishwasher

Study and prototyping of a motorized domestic dishwasher for opening and closing the door automatically. Work is split in 3 parts: mechanic, electronic, software. Mechanic deals with hinge kinematic analysis, concept development, simulation analysis, components sizing and construction. Electronic refers to components research, setup and displacement on the dishwasher. Software regards Arduino Mega (the used MCU) state programming. This thesis contains also intermediate trials with encoutered troubles and show how they've been solved. Many future implementations are finally presented.
