Abstract

In our country, it is getting increasingly difficult to obtain clean drinking water. Human survival and the functioning of the global ecosystem depend on the availability of potable water. Aquaculture, fishing, industry, and transportation are all made possible by the availability of water. One of the many things that contribute to river pollution is the dumping of rubbish from residential areas near rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Eventually, the water supply will be polluted because of the unregulated dumping of debris, such as garbage, and oil. A garbage collecting system, a robot for cleaning up rubbish from rivers, channels, and lakes, will be created experimentally for real-world application, and this project aims to build and model such a system. A robot that can be operated through an Android app has been developed for the purpose of cleaning water bodies. The NODE MCU-ESP8266 micro-controller and the accompanying Android application have been programmed in the Arduino IDE and communicate with one another using the micro-Wi-Fi controller's module. Microcontrollers can function on small amount of power. A microprocessor only requires 3.3V of power, while a motor needs 12V.Powering the motor is a microcontroller board motor driver circuit. The motor driver circuit boosts Node-MCU 3V to 12V to power the motor. The motor driver circuit spins the two propellers. An Android IoT app may adjust propeller direction. The robot will collect and measure water quality using the TDS sensor on ESP32 and the ThingSpeak app. This idea proposes a low-cost, safe, and successful floating garbage disposal technology with low maintenance, easy management, and a monitoring system to reduce river pollution.
