Design Of Low Cost Autonomous Environment Cleaning Vehicle

Abstract

cleaning public places is a field where more human power is required. This leads to wastage of human resources. The solution to this problem would be autonomous robots. The proposed project is Autonomous environment cleaning vehicle. This vehicle cleans its surrounding without any human intervention. The work done by the robot includes several common tasks such as navigation, object detection and discrimination, obstacle avoidance, and task sequencing. The robot has a dustbin on its rear. Whenever the robot senses an obstacle with its camera, the image from the camera is processed to identify the waste from non-waste materials. If it is a waste material then the mechanical arm attached to the robot will lift the object and drop it in the dustbin. If the object is made up of metal, it is sensed in the mechanical arm and dropped in non-recyclable part of the dustbin. Hence in addition to waste collection, waste segregation is also done. All these processes are powered by a rechargeable battery. Hence this project will help to achieve a clean and hygiene environment
