This document describes a project to design and build a solar-powered beach cleaning robot. The robot will use solar energy to power electric motors and a wireless remote control to clean beaches in an automated way. The project aims to reduce human labor for beach cleaning and prevent waste from entering oceans. Key components of the robot include solar panels, batteries, motors, conveyor belts, clamps to pick up trash, and a storage compartment. The project will be implemented in two phases: hardware construction and software/programming. Work will include selecting materials, building the frame, and programming controls using Arduino. The robot is intended to provide an affordable and eco-friendly alternative to manual beach cleaning.

2. Aim
Aim: The aim of this project is Fabrication of Solar Operated Beach Cleaning Robot
are that would like to be able to achieve as following:
• Preforming the beach cleaning process with an automated machine that works on
wireless remote
• The robot uses solar energy to power up Being able to remove plastics from the
beach and preventing it going into the water using this robot
• The robot is easy to use through a normal wireless remote controller
3. Scope
• The objective of the proposed work is to replace the power source with the solar
powered energy.
• To use more of renewable energy
• To be used for cleaning purposes, and avoiding direct contact of humans with the
waste material
• The scope for this work is to develop and fabricate new semi-automatic wireless
remote operated machine for beach cleaning.
Objective
4. Reason for selecting the project:
• This robot is eco friendly which runs on solar energy
• To reduce human efficiency
• Building cost is affordable compared to any other
• We will get to know and learn more about sensors, programming, and designing
5. Literature Review
• We Explored few papers to get an idea about the robot as listed below

6. Methodology
For this project we have got an idea to divide this
project into two parts as follows
Part A: Hardware construction
• Under This part there will be all about constructing,
welding a frame and all the needed mountings for
motors, battery, solar panel, conveyors, storage
compartment etc.
Part B: Software and programming
• Under this part of project all the software related work
will be done. It will be about controlling the robot
wirelessly, programming of Arduino board,
Programming for IR sensors etc.
7. Parts and components
1] DC Motors
• A DC motor is defined as a class of electrical motors that convert direct current
electrical energy into mechanical energy. Responsible for moment of robot and
conveyor belt
2] Solar Panel
• Solar panels are those devices which are used to absorb the sun's rays and convert
them into electricity or heat. Responsible to charge the battery through Sun rays
3] Battery
• The lead–acid battery is a type of rechargeable battery. Responsible to powerup robot
8. 4] Hollow Metal Rods
• With help from these rods we will be able to build the frame of robot by process of
welding
5] Chain and Sprocket
• Chain and sprocket mechanism is responsible to rotate the conveyors belt
6] Clamps
• L shape clamps will help to pick up waste materials from ground.
7] Storage box
• With help of clamps the waste material will be then collected in storage box
8] Wheels
• Responsible for moment of robot
9. Plan of work
Market survey
• As our study and our understandings, we got to know that there is good demand for
this robot Due to high coasting, lack of features, and manual control, organizations are
not attracted towards it. And here we are trying to build the eco-friendly less maintained
affordable semi – controlled robot
Material selection & product purchasing
Proceeding ahead we did research and decided to build a frame from square metal rods.
L shape clamps for picking garbage. Motors are responsible for moving robot and
conveyor belt, IR sensors and Arduino is used to control the robot Solar panel to
generate power supply Battery to store this power, and a storage compartment.
Modifications
As per our study all the previous projects were working on charging systems and
remotely wired controlled, or some were operated manually by pushing the machine by
hand We decided to make it on solar energy as well on charging systems, adding to it, it
will be operated by wireless remote control
11. Conclusion
• The main goal of this project is to develop and implement a robot which will helping
a beach environment cleaning.
• This system helps to clean beaches so it keeps the sand clean and save the ocean
life from garbage pollution
• This system does not need more human labor for the waste material cleaning and
this can reduce the direct contact of the human labor with the waste material so
there is no hazard for the human labor.
