Project
AQUABOT — River Cleaning Robot
Semi-autonomous surface robot designed to collect floating waste from rivers using a front mesh trap and conveyor mechanism.
Problem Statement
Reduce manual effort and improve coverage in river-cleanup operations by continuously collecting floating debris near the surface.
System Design
Tracked collection platform with a front intake and conveyor system, paired with sensor-driven control logic for stable operation in uneven flow conditions.
Key Challenges
Stabilizing the platform in varying currents, maintaining effective waste capture without clogging, and balancing power budget against continuous operation.
Results
Recognized nationally with top rankings at CBSE National Science Exhibition (UP) and ATL Marathon, demonstrating feasibility of low-cost river-cleaning robots.
