Abstract

It is impossible to separate technology use from daily life, and human resources must stay up with its development. As the population rises, so does the demand for raw materials and waste. Carelessly disposed of trash can harm the air, the soil, and the water, lowering the quality of the water in the rivers and raising the risk of illness. What if humans need to spend a lot of time and energy cleaning up the waste? The objective of this project is to create a boat that can clean water remotely. The water-cleaning boat is designed using a transmitter and receiver circuit. The boat has a DC motor that propels it forward and allows it to swivel right and left, as well as a net that serves as its major component and collects and holds trash underneath it. The goal of this prototype was to simplify, speed up, and lower the risks associated with river transportation in the process of remotely moving garbage. The net serves as a rubbish collector and keeper, and the boat's design permits unrestricted movement on the water's surface. The boat's weight without the load is two kg and the boat can endure load on it until three kg. The boat's speed is 2 m/s and the boat is suitable at medium flow water. Overall, the research presented in this thesis has succeeded in contributing to understanding the importance of effective and practical water-cleaning systems.
