LITERATURE SURVEY
TEAM 1:Robotic trash collector boat using AI techniques
DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATED TRASH
COLLECTING BOAT USING MACHINE LEARNING
• This paper proposes a robot that collects mobile garbage on water bodies using a half-
submerged propulsion characteristic that can be operated remotely using Bluetooth technology.
• Unlike traditional garbage collection boats that require manual operation, this system uses
YOLOv7-based image processing to autonomously detect and collect floating waste.
• This image processing method improves accuracy in identifying waste types compared to
conventional methods.
• Bluetooth-controlled movement allows for efficient maneuvering without direct human
involvement.
• Not fixed it is moveable .
• Uses Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and BLDC motors, making it an affordable and scalable
solution.
COMPONENTS USED FOR THE
PROCESS
• Raspberry Pi camera 5mp Version 1.3 is used to capture the images.
• YOLOv7 per processing model image resizing, normalization, and color
space conversion.
• BLDC motors are used for efficient and effective movement in the
water. The conveyor belt is powered by BO motor.
• CSPDarknet53 is used for extracting features form per processed
image.
• NMS technique is used for post processing eliminates duplicate
detections, keeping only the most relevant bounding box.
ROBOTIC TRASH COLLECTOR BOAT
USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENT
TECHNIQUES
• Artificial Intelligence enabled robotic trash boat is designed to harvest these floating trashes without any manual
intervention.
• The system is integrated with the microcontroller unit which is connected with the camera, ultrasonic sensor,
GSM module, power supply, motor driver and servo motor.
• The camera is used to detect the wastes and captures its image with the help of image processing. The ultrasonic
sensor is used to detect the obstacles in order to drive the boat properly.
• The robotic arm which is driven by servo motor is programmed to find and collect the floating trash.
• When the Power supply is fed to the microcontroller, the motor which is coupled with the propeller and conveyor
starts to operate where the trashes are collected by the conveyor and dumped in the bin present inside the boat.
• Once the trashes are filled, the information is sent to the GSM module and the boat would return to the hub with
the help of GPS and it will throws out the waste. The information that is received from the GSM module can be
sent to the mobile phone for future purpose.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ENABLED ROBOTIC
TRASH BOAT TO DRIVE AND HARVEST FLOATING
TRASH FROM URBAN DRAIN
Computer Vision & Deep Learning techniques to
images, our model is trained using a dataset of floating
trash images on YOLO v7 (You Only Look Once) is
used and which is the latest version of the object
detection algorithm.
Interfacing the TDS Meter, PH Meter, and Turbid Sensor
The IR sensor module is used to find if the storage
subject is full. The IR sensor senses the quantity of trash
present in the container every time trash is collected from
the water bodies and put into the container.
