Prototipo automático para la recolección de residuos flotantes y limpieza de un río utilizando una cinta transportadora
Summary
This engineering project describes the design and development of a robotic floating waste collector for the Bogotá and Magdalena rivers in Colombia, using a conveyor belt system to remove solid waste from the water surface. While the robot targets plastic and solid waste collection, the paper does not directly address microplastic research.
Las herramientas tecnológicas que pueden desplegarse desde la ingeniería de sistemas, hoy en día, permiten brindar un impacto de mitigación positiva a un problema de la sociedad en un contexto determinado, de esta forma, son criteriosas de ser efectuadas y analizadas. Por lo cual, llevando las tecnologías de información y desarrollo a una investigación y a su aplicación en una problemática real, como la contaminación y de cómo afecta directamente a las personas cercanas a esta, se pueden llevar a cabo procesos que permitan el análisis y desarrollo de soluciones de impacten benéficamente en la sociedad. Para este proyecto se determina las variables, causas, efectos y enfoques respectivos a la problemática de la acumulación de residuos sólidos y a la contaminación que estos generan en el río Bogotá y el Magdalena. Por lo anterior, se realiza una investigación de carácter mixta con dos metodologías, una para la recolección de información y otra, para el diseño y desarrollo de una herramienta basada en la robótica, desglosando la solución, en este caso, en el diseño, desarrollo, ensamblado y despliegue de un robot recolector de residuos sólidos flotantes en el tramo de la desembocadura del río Bogotá, planteado para el 2023.
