IJERT-Smart Trash Collecting and Segregating Robot

Now-a-days, Collecting and segregating of waste has become one among the greatest challenging task for municipal corporations, all around the globe. An exponential rise in population, there's an increased production of waste, and also an enormous amount of litter consisting of plastic, paper, and other such products carelessly thrown about and scattered publicly. No one is paying attention to surrounding environmental problems. One of the major issues is garbage collection. To deal with this problem we come up with a "Robotic Vehicle for Garbage Collection". Robot is able to perform human tasks of collecting garbage. In this project, we are designing a robot which is capable of collecting the waste products from various places like footpaths, parks, schools & colleges etc. This robot is capable for detection of objects in random movement. The main controller of this project is Raspberry Pi 3B. The robot is built on a wooden base of size 50x40 cm which is powered by battery of 12V. The movement of robotic vehicle is controlled by programming the Arduino. After detecting the objects, the robot senses by webcam & followed by Image processing, the object gets collected with the robotic arm and place into the container. The robot keeps collecting the waste until it reaches certain height within the bin. Once the bin is full then it is notified to the operator. This robotic vehicle is working automatically and saves the human power.

Rising garbage of the world poses serious threats to human being because escalating amount of waste generated each minute by an individual. Approximate 0.2 million tones’ garbage generated per day only in India. Maximum garbage cannot be fixed to proper solution because separation mechanism is not present widely in India. Only rage picker do separation of garbage in some cities but it cannot complete the whole separation. As only 30-40% garbage is separated daily. Some garbage cannot be separated by hand as they are hazardous like chemical waste, medical waste, floating waste etc. so the separation of the garbage is needed which is safe, lenient and automatic. Therefore aim of the paper is to present a smart robot which is capable of separating degradable and nondegradable waste using image processing techniques. The proposed robot is in random motion whenever it senses any object it stops and camera takes image of the object, after processing and segmentation is done, it separates ...

Now-a-days, management of waste from its collection to dumping and disruption has become one of the greatest challenging and arduous chore for municipal corporations, all around the globe. To make this tedious job facile, a new concept of Smart Dustbin has been taken into consideration for Smart buildings, hospitals, schools and railway stations. The Smart garbage collector thought is an advancement of traditional garbage collector by levitating it to become smart inculcating sensors and some form of logics. This smart collector is a revolutionary idea of application of line following garbage car and pole fixed garbage part on predesigned locomotive path. The fixed bin makes use of ultrasonic sensors for level of garbage detection and updates the coeval level of the bin to the garbage car, using RF Module. This is thereby a fully automated system, making small contribution towards the theme of Clean India Green India.

Increased waste levels have made it important for proper waste management systems and procedures. Now India day is not working well in the field of environmental cleanup, it means collecting all the waste, putting it away and separating for recycling process. Dumping of garbage in local areas creates polluting conditions. It can cause many bad diseases in humans and can cause air, water, and land pollution. It also contributes to global warming. The program consists of two modules, the first module contains a pi cam with tensor flow software, and the second module contains Robotic Arm and, Robotic chase to pick up trash and the trash can be separated afterwards. The main part or purpose of this work is a clean and tidy environment by separating the waste for Reusability process. The project supports waste management and helps to control global warming, reduces pollution and decrease workers time and work. This project supports the goal of a clean swatch bharat. This project is mainly designed to clean the parks and the ground so that we can clean large area to protect our environment.

Aim/Objectives: The primary aim is to introduce a way in which garbage could be collected and disposed efficiently; To analyze the problem of garbage disposal at a school, restaurant, office, hotel, production plant or any other suitable location; To design and develop a system for solving the problem; To test and maintain the implemented system. Method: Our project is divided into two main parts. We are designing a system that collects garbage automatically through line. For which we are designing an arena so that the machine will follow the specific path and also manually by using Arduino and Bluetooth module. The machine can be controlled by software which will give command to the robotic jaw to collect the stationary waste. It also has the characteristic to get controlled by voice command which makes the robot to collect the garbage according to the given command. Findings: We have designed a semi-autonomous garbage collector robot which can do multiple functions. This robot has one robotic arm in which it can pick the garbage and dispense it in main basket attached to the robot. The camera placed on robot helps the administrator to remotely monitor the robot while collecting garbage. The prototype has an electronic mechanism by which the robot can dispense it collected garbage to the dispensing point. This robot has installed batteries in which there is no fuel or electricity required to complete the operation.

This paper proposed an innovative mechanical design using the Rocker-bogie mechanism for resilient Trash-Collecting Robots. Mask-RCNN, YOLOV4, and YOLOv4-tiny were experimented on and analyzed for trash detection. The Trash-Collecting Robot was developed to be completely autonomous as it was able to detect trash, move towards it, and pick it up while avoiding any obstacles along the way. Sensors including a camera, ultrasonic sensor, and GPS module played an imperative role in automation. The brain of the Robot, namely, Raspberry Pi and Arduino, processed the data from the sensors and performed path-planning and consequent motion of the robot through actuation of motors. Three models for object detection were tested for potential use in the robot: Mask-RCNN, YOLOv4, and YOLOv4-tiny. Mask-RCNN achieved an average precision (mAP) of over 83% and detection time (DT) of 3973.29 ms, YOLOv4 achieved 97.1% (mAP) and 32.76 DT, and YOLOv4-tiny achieved 95.2% and 5.21 ms DT. The YOLOv4-tiny w...

In this paper we are launching our project to remove floating debris from an urban sewer pipe, reducing sewage congestion. Cleaning up this urban sewage without the help of hands will save many lives. In this proposed system, an automated robot is used to clean floating debris. Therefore contact with harmful gasses and mosquitoes will be minimized. The system has a PiNoIR camera that can detect garbage on the ground by processing the image and the automatic robot arm will collect floating debris and this will have a cylinder on the boat where the garbage will be stored. Once the trash has been filled the IR sensor will detect it. When the IR sensor automatically removes this information the boat will move to the hub with the help of GPS and garbage will be dumped there. The system will improve significantly as this will collect non-perishable floating waste with the help of image processing

Current waste management systems are unable to cope with the volumes of waste generation. Intending to maximize waste segregation and recycling and minimize human interference, we propose a model, an automated waste sorter system that is implemented to segregate the waste into various categories like dry, wet, and metallic waste.

Waste segregation and recycling are simple yet effective ways of reducing the amount of waste dumped into our landfills. But there are people who are unaware or even choose to ignore the fact that waste segregation and recycling are environment friendly solutions to the problem of wastes management and disposal. In the Philippines, there are recycling centers but the process is tedious and done manually. There are guidelines implemented by the government with regards to recycling but these effort s have yet to touch the mindset of the people. Escalating amounts of recyclables that are not maximized and indifference in proper waste segregation has led to the group in developing a solution to this. The Automated Waste Sorter (AWS) and Mobile Robot Waste Deliver System (MRWDS) are intended to automate the sorting process of steel cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles and plastic bottles. Along with the integration of the Mobile Robot Delivery System the process of collecting the waste that is to be sorted by the AWS human interference is minimized. This paper describes the approach to implementing a sensor array, for each corresponding material to be sorted, along with a conveyor belt as the Automated Waste Sorter. The Mobile Robot Delivery System is composed of a line following robot that is able to mechanically pick up an appointed trash bin and collect the waste in the said bin and through the designed line path proceed to the receiving end of the AWS and dump the collected waste. Through the use of the implemented systems the group was successful in collecting and delivering the waste and sorting to an accuracy of above 80%.
