Abstract

This project is based on observation and is based on the current manual approach of sweeping or collecting garbage on the beach. The objective of this project is to design a prototype machine that can gather garbage in order to keep coastal areas clean. In addition, in this project, which uses 12 volts for the dc motor and 5 volts for the circuit. There are numerous scopes of research that have been established. In addition, the Arduino Uno microcontroller is utilised to control the movement of prototype machine. All of this is intended to address a number of issues, one of which is a labour shortage. According to a literature review conducted on the use of stainless steel on the coast, the material for this machine must also have a specific feature that is durable. In addition, the use of a suitable motor should be taken into account to move the prototype. The test findings show that the battery used is not suitable for long-term use due to the small battery capacity and the photovoltaic panel with an output value of 10 watts can charge the battery for a long time. The concept shown in this project is how to collect garbage that is on the coast. The environment should be cleaner and healthier because ecosystems should and will provide natural services for all species necessary for human survival, thereby improving quality of life and survival.
