Abstract

Our project introduces a cost-effective, vision-assisted robotic system for safer and more systematic sewer maintenance. For ages, manual sewer cleaning has exposed workers to toxic environments filled with various health hazards. Our robotic arm will be using a camera and a 3 Degree of Freedom (DOF) arm to detect and remove sludge, reducing human intervention. It offers real-time monitoring and a remote control system for increased safety and ease of operation. Our innovative solution fully supports sustainable sanitation practices and will be specifically suitable for urban infrastructure in developing regions.
