Abstract
Eight million tons of plastic debris is being dumped every year in the ocean, most of them come from beach tourists, urban and storm runoff, sewer overflows and inadequate waste management. Plastic waste encourages the growth of pathogens in the ocean, which is affecting marine life very badly, making many water species endangered and jeopardizing the natural ambience of marine life. Marine debris is disrupting the entire bio-geo cycle giving rise to unwanted problems to the whole marine eco-system. Floating vessel with robust technology is needed to clean our rivers, dams, and lakes. For that purpose, we have developed a vehicle that can collect plastic lying on the surface of the water. It is operated wirelessly and has a long-range wireless connection. A camera is mounted on top of the vehicle to see things around by using concepts of control systems and communication systems. There is a small opening in front of the vehicle to collect plastic from the surface of the water. After collecting plastic or debris, it disposed near the surface. Our proposed cleaner is convenient and can be operated easily by anyone with little hardware knowledge. By using just the flat design of the vehicle, it can float on the surface of the water and a brain to control the vehicle. The integration of all technical things is seamless and intuitive.
