CASE STUDY OF WASTE COLLECTION AUTONOMOUS ROBOT

Abstract

Autonomous trash-collecting robots have been considered as the benchmark for the mobile robot design problem. These include several common tasks such as navigation, path planning, object detection and discrimination, obstacle avoidance, task sequencing, and often multi-agent coordination. An autonomous robot can obtain information about its surrounding environment, work for more time without human intervention, move either all or part of itself throughout its operating environment without human assistance, avoid situations that are harmful to humans, public property, or itself unless those are specified in design specifications. In this type, the developed robot can autonomously collect trash using excavators like dotted hole claws. The pickup trash is segregated (metallic and nonmetallic) and dumped into a bin attached to the robot which has separate partitions for metallic and nonmetallic trashes. In addition, the developed embedded electronics module, a motor closedloop speed control system, and optical flow system to detect and avoid obstacles and track the trash to be collected. Also, it is connected to the charging station through a WIFI module. It is a WIFI module useful when coming for dispatch full limit of bin trash. They can also adapt to changing surroundings. Like other machines, these robots need regular monitoring and maintenance for proper performance.
