Abstract

This thesis outlines the entire process of designing, developing, and producing an automated
Toilet Roll Dispenser Machine. The goal of this project is to create a low-cost, user-friendly,
and efficient equipment that improves hygiene and convenience in public restrooms. The
research includes several stages, including conceptualization, design, prototype, and
manufacturing, with a focus on mechanical and electrical engineering. The finished product
is intended to provide a dependable and sanitary solution for toilet paper dispensing in
public toilets while minimising maintenance needs.
