Design and Development of Sewage Cleaning Mobile Robot

Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to develop a Friendly Sewage Cleaning Robot to remove the blocks manually. To replace the human being in sewage cleaning by automated system and to prevent from hazardous chemicals. Presently, the sewage blocks are removed only by means of manual intervention. Because of this method, there is a threaten to cause many health hazards. Hence a methodology has been developed to reduce the work of high human effort. In this paper, Robot with an IR camera and IR sensor has been used. Blocks in the sewage can be identified using IR camera as well as IR sensor. The camera continuously captures the image in the sewage which can be monitored using PC. As the robot moves inside the sewage, IR sensor detects the presence of block. Once the block is detected, IR sensor gives the signal to the microcontroller, so that the blocks can be removed by means of arm movement of robot. This system limits the human involvement for the sewage cleaning process of sewaging system and prevents the infection of diseases to the mankind.
