Abstract

The beaches along the coast are a popular tourist destination, and they must be nourished before attracting tourists. However, it is clear that trash on beaches is increasingly growing as a result of waste and pollution and the unwelcome deposition of garbage from surrounding areas. Despite efforts to clean up the beaches, the amount of garbage on the beaches continues to grow. While some attempts have been undertaken to clean the beaches, the amount of garbage on the beach continues to grow. As a result, in this day and age of advanced technology, robots have been established as a potential solution to this issue. Addition to the problem in cleaning the beaches by hand, which raises labor costs and is often time consuming, there is a need for an automated system that can do the job indefinitely with minimum expenses and optimum productivity. The model described in the following sections can be thought of as a robot that cleans the beaches automatically with no human intervention and accurate monitoring and mapping of the surroundings. The model is a multipurpose seashore cleaning robot that naturally accumulates rubbish and litter and stores it in a receptacle set toward the back of the robot-suspension. The robot is mounted with a prong-based transport where the prongs are utilized for gathering the littering/trash present on the outside of the seashore. The robot has been tried for its exhibition and the outcomes have been recorded.
