Overview
The idea is a team of coordinated, special robots which, as the name suggests, pick plastic from various
sources of the locality in question.
The main aim here is to have robots even where humans can’t directly penetrate, like the crooks of roads
or inside forest regions.
The forest robots will obviously be different from urban robots.
The robots work and make use of the ant’s strategy. One big, hulky robot is as useless as it is grand.
Hundreds of tiny robots can eat up plastic at a faster pace.
This will not be our only idea. Tons and Tons of other students will have thought of this too. We should win,
not by concept, but by proving that ours is most cost-effective, most clean, most no-bad-side-effects type
robot.
The engineering challenges are immense. We will have to pick up some new skills and be together. Not one
among us will think that he/she will take less/more burden. Everyone must contribute meaningfully.
The Parts - Minions
Small (2-hand size) robots equipped
with wheels and pickers.
Can climb rugged and wet terrain due to
wheel design.
Coordinates with other minions to
prevent disproportionate share of
picking.
Walks on the roads and streets and
recognises somebody running at it
Is cute and possibly be adapted into a
Sci-Fi Movie.
The Parts - Supervisors
About as big as an average dustbin
Has every detail about all minions
working under it
The brain of the minions is connected to
this, and it prevents mistakes by
minions.
It also is a dustbin, as every minion will
dump trash in it
The Parts - Collectors
No technical features.
Just a very big municipal dustbin with
regular visits by the garbage truck
Project objective
Our objective is to have the streets
and forests clean. Many people not
only randomly drop shit outside but
also think that its okay. These robots
are short-term solutions only and the
bigger one is to have people change.
However, while they change, we cant
have our things be looking like shit so
we bring in robots.
Also, the threat of plastics ruining
forests is there and our forest robots
will clean them up.
Target audience
Our target audience is the Governments of
various parts of the world. Most
governments spend in crores, so we won’t
have to worry too much on to make it
cheaper. We just need the price to be
perfect
