In general, the folding clothes using with the conventional method by hand. This conventional method results in humans needing a short amount of time to complete household chores. The purpose of the research is to design and simulate the folding tool automatic fabric using ultrasonic sensors and a microcontroller Arduino Uno. The results of this study concluded that a lot of folding clothes can fold the clothes within a short namely short-sleeved shirt with a time of 4 seconds, ¾ sleeves with a time of 5 seconds and shorts with a time of 3 seconds. Therefore, the tool can be used to assist the workdays, which is still done manually. The remote controls equipped with automatic transmission of the ultrasonic sensor, ATMega328P microcontroller, Arduino Uno, LCD6 * I2C, Buzzer, Motor servo, Push the button. The results of testing/calculation will show that this tool can fold clothes in a short time, test and count how many clothes have been folded with various sizes of clothes and pants.
