Surface Water Cleaning Robot (SWCR) for Sustainable Environmental Protection

Abstract-The emphasis of the project is centered upon the designing and advanced construction of an ecological water cleaning system that has wireless control features which integrates advanced environmental monitoring and robotics that is operated remotely towards achieving environmental sustainability. Consequently, due to the growing concern of water pollution, there is an increasing demand of deploying an easy system which will eliminate the waste and pollutants from the water bodies in an efficient manner. The system consists of a and a rotary bracket which consists of a substantial floating platform mounted on a 12V battery, four 500 RPM DC motors and L298N motor driver for river surface navigation. The operation of this device centers around the use of an ESP32- CAM module which acts as a camera that streams real time images to the operator for effective monitoring of the device and waste collection process. This system solves the problem of debris reduction in water bodies and enhances water reclamation curbing the risks of cash intensive manual cleaning. If the technology comes into practice it is going to improve environmental protection by introducing a new approach to environmental management and promoting sustainability strategies in the protection of water bodies.
