Abstract:
The aim of the project is to construct a mobile device which would remove waste
materials such as leaves, bottles, polyethenes, etc. which we usually see disrupting
the water flow in roadside drains. This causes dire problems in our society when
the drain overflows, acts as breeding grounds for mosquitoes, produce undesirable
smell and in turn becomes a reason for health risk in the community. Thus, our aim
is to construct a robot which will help to overcome this problematic situation.
The device consists of a conveyer belt fitted with a fixed number of claws to pick up
the waste material and it is driven by a chain bound to a DC motor. The claws will
transfer the collected waste into a deposit box and from there it will be displaced in
a desired location by means of an actuator.
