CLEAN SWEEP

PROTOTYPE
ARJUN BHATNAGAR,
ARADHYA ATRE & ADVAY LAL
INTRODUCTION
• Urbanization and rapid industrialization
have led to an increase in waste
generation, posing significant challenges
to environmental sustainability. It is now
of utmost importance to use the advance
of AI and technology for the world’s
benefit by developing tools which clean
the environment. Effective waste
management is crucial for maintaining
public health and preserving our planet.
This paper explores the concept of an
autonomous trash collecting robot,
specifically focusing on a low-cost,
feasible model that can be implemented
with limited resources.
DESIGN
 The robot will have a sturdy, stable base with wheels. Each wheel will have
motors for movement.

 The main body, attached to the base, will consist of a collection bin with a
vacuum blower connected to it to take up the garbage.

 Sensors will be placed in the front of the main body for obstacle detection
and potentially at the bottom of the base for ground-level object detection.

 Lastly the motors, sensors and blower will be connected to the


microcontroller which will be coded for movement and sensor readings.

FUNCTIONALITY
• The robot operates by
navigating its environment
using the installed sensors to
detect obstacles and potential
trash. Upon identifying trash,
the vacuum system is
activated to collect the waste.
The collected trash is stored in
the in the bin until it reaches
capacity.

CONCLUSION
•Creating an autonomous trash collecting robot on a budget of ₹3000 is a challenging
task, but it is possible with careful planning and resourcefulness. While this initial
model may have limitations, it serves as a foundation for future development and
improvement. By focusing on essential functionalities and utilizing readily available
materials, we can create a prototype that demonstrates the potential of autonomous
robots in addressing urban waste challenges.
•Further research and development, coupled with increased funding, can lead to more
sophisticated robots capable of handling complex environments and diverse waste
types. Ultimately, the goal is to develop sustainable and efficient waste management
solutions that contribute to a cleaner and healthier planet.
