A Novel Method for Design and Development of Hybrid Land and Water Buoyancy Trash Collecting Robot

摘要

Environmental pollution, especially in aquatic ecosystems, poses an important risk to the planet. The proliferation of plastic discarded in water bodies has prompted the development of innovative technologies to address this crisis. This abstract introduces a novel solution in the form of a Hybrid Land and Water Buoyancy Trash Collecting Robot. It is designed to operate both on land and in aquatic environments, providing a versatile and efficient solution for collecting and removing debris from water bodies A working version of the robot has two propellers that are coupled to two DC motors to allow for left, right, and forward motion. Robot control with an application-based WIFI control system remotely and with a robotic hand to facilitate the collection of rubbish. A system of conveyor belts directing the garbage to the collecting box and a protective sensor organization besides the overindulgence of information. The prototype itself uses just 12 volts of battery power to clear an area of around 1500 square centimeters and gather rubbish up to 7 kilograms in weight. The robot can operate continuously for two hours without requiring a charge. The collected waste is then securely stored and can be later transferred to disposal facilities for proper recycling or disposal.
