Autonomous River Cleaning Robot Using Conveyor Mechanism

This project introduces an autonomous river cleaning robot designed to collect floating waste materials from water bodies using a conveyor-based collection system. The robot navigates across the surface of a river or lake without manual intervention, using onboard sensors and control logic to detect obstacles and maintain its path.

At the heart of the design is a motorized conveyor mechanism that continuously lifts and deposits floating debris into a mounted waste bin, enabling real-time cleaning. The system is powered by a microcontroller (such as Arduino or STM32) and can be enhanced with GPS, ultrasonic sensors, and solar power for greater autonomy and sustainability.

This eco-friendly robot offers a low-cost, scalable, and automated solution for addressing water pollution in rivers, lakes, and other inland waterways.
