Automatic Beach Cleaning Robot
Summary
Researchers designed a portable automatic beach cleaning robot for collecting plastic debris from sandy beaches to reduce marine pollution and protect aquatic ecosystems.
“It is a massive problem that affects everybody around the world,” said Alex Schulze, co-founder of 4ocean, a marine clean up company that removes a pound of trash from the beach for every product they sell, which includes apparel and accessories, so we are trying to solve this problem through our "Automatic ROBOT" which helps us to clean our beach and provide us healthy nature and also used for clean marine life, aquatic animals because they also deserve a better life. This robot is portable through this “AUTOMATIC ROBOT” there is no need for manpower use in beach cleaning. The Automatic ROBOT developed by 4ocean is a significant step towards addressing the issue of ocean pollution, as it offers several advantages over traditional manual beach cleaning methods. In addition to being portable, the robot is equipped with advanced sensors and technology that enable it to identify and collect different types of waste, including microplastics and other small debris that can be difficult to spot with the naked eye. This not only helps to ensure a more thorough and effective cleaning process but also minimizes the risk of human error and injury, as well as reducing the time and cost required for beach cleaning. Furthermore, by keeping our beaches and oceans clean, we can protect and preserve the natural habitats of marine life and aquatic animals, which are essential to the health and well-being of our planet. The purpose of this paper is to present the development of a cutting-edge beach cleaning robot that utilizes advanced components, including an Arduino Uno board, flame sensor, GSM, wiper motor, DC clamp motor, cycle chain sprocket, 60rpm DC gear motor, L298 DC motor driver, Pedestal bearing UCP 204(20MM ID), and solar panel. Through the integration of these innovative technologies, the beach cleaning robot can function autonomously and effectively identify and remove various types of waste materials, such as plastics and metals, from the beach environment. This project is an essential step towards improving environmental sustainability and promoting eco-friendly practices in beach cleaning operations.
