Development of Automated Trash Collecting Boat using Machine Learning Anil Kadu1, Aditya Kulkarni2, Anannya Chaudhary3, Savani Bondre4, Aryan Naik 5 Department of Multidisciplinary Engineering, Vishwakarma Institute of Technology, Pune, 411037 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------***----------------------------------------------------------------------Abstract - In this research, a prototype for a Water Surface Mobile Garbage Collector Robot is presented with the aim of
promoting awareness and monitoring the health of rivers through garbage collection using image processing. This device is designed to be utilized for clearing of small lakes, rivers, and sewages in India. Image processing is utilized for controlling the robot's navigation. The performance of the water garbage collector is evaluated based on its maneuvering control efficiency and garbage collection load capacity. The robot is capable of floating and moving around the water surface, and it should be constructed from durable, lightweight, and waterproof materials.

INTRODUCTION Rivers are important to people as well as other organisms for a variety of reasons, including serving as transit hubs, providing habitat for marine flora and fauna, supporting human existence by supplying freshwater, hydration for plants, and regulating the earth's humidity[2]. The world's population is quickly growing, and various rivers were severely impacted by flooding. [3]. According to a survey, one of the primary causes of severe flooding in rivers is massive building upstream[3]. Heavy rains can transport sediments from inhabited regions, blocking drainage systems and causing flash floods in some locations, particularly cities.[4].Garbage can also clog drainage systems [5-6]. We frequently discover a lot of waste lying on the water in poor nations, including plastic leftovers, foaming agents, foliage, and metal bottles. Dry material drifting on the water's surface can obstruct water drainage in city canals and cause flooding. Human negligence is to blame, for instance reckless dumping of packaging for food, drinking straws, or plastic containers in public places.[7]. Plastic pollution cannot be avoided. It may happen anywhere. Aquatic life is endangered because plastic garbage may choke, smother, and kill it. Governments in various nations have taken preventative measures. While there has been modest improvement in water quality, several rivers remain polluted [2]. Many experiments are being undertaken to find more efficient methods for collection of waste on the water's surface[6-8]. This will help the government of the cities to improve the state of their aquatic bodies. Garbage collectors can be both fixed[13] as well as mobile[8]-[12], and [13]-[17]. Mr. Rubbish Wheel, a wheel that floats on water and is powered by solar energy, collects garbage at the entrance of a river and transports it to the main Baltimore Harbor.It removes waste using a solar-powered hydraulic pump. In its first 22 months of operation, it gathered 127 dumpsters full of rubbish and debris totalling 420 tonnes [11]. The sole disadvantage of this technique is that pumps must be simple to maintain and repair in order to function properly. Water surface cleaning robots that are simple to maintain could be accomplished if a mechanical system where there is no automation based on electronics is employed [14]. Although, moving the cleaning boat pedals demands a large amount of manpower [14]. Because of its vast proportions, it is effective in collecting big volumes of rubbish. Another study's garbage collector concept used a conveyor system. It is an excellent design for decreasing labor since the rubbish is automatically transferred to the collecting tray by the use of motor control; nevertheless, considerable energy usage is required to carry out efficient operation of the motor as the amount of trash being loaded on the tray of the collector grows [11]. A combination of smartphone capability with robotic capabilities that can be operated using a touch screen or other Android based technologies that allow for remote and easy operation.Some robots rely on Wifi networks and Bluetooth connections to receive commands from the operator, who can use a joystick, keyboard, or phone screen.
