Autonomous robot for garbage collection on beaches

摘要

In recent years, pollution on beaches has represented one of the biggest problems worldwide because most of the urban solid waste ends up in the seas and oceans. This causes a negative impact by generating mass contamination of marine life and also affecting the growth, reproduction, behavior, and feeding of the existing biodiversity of flora and fauna within and around them. This situation is considered one of the biggest global problems derived from people’s unconsciousness. The objective of this manuscript is to show the design and construction of an autonomous robot capable of collecting garbage on the beaches, such as bottles, cans, and some other solid urban waste, to prevent them from reaching the seas and oceans and eventually the landfill Flora and Fauna. And in this way, we contribute significantly to keeping the beaches free of urban solid waste.
