Water pollution in rivers has become a pressing environmental issue, demanding innovative solutions for efficient cleanup. This project presents a semi-autonomous river-cleaning robot designed to remove floating debris and pollutants using a combination of embedded electronics and mechanical components. The system integrates a Arduino for processing, an ultrasonic sensor for obstacle detection, a Cam for real-time monitoring, and a propeller motor for navigation. The robot's conveyor belt mechanism collects waste, controlled by L293D motor drivers and an Arduino Uno (ATmega328) slave controller for additional motor coordination. The setup enables real-time waste collection, navigation through water bodies, and intelligent response to obstacles, contributing to cleaner river ecosystems. The proposed solution enhances water cleanup efficiency through cost-effective automation, reducing human intervention and improving ecological sustainability.
