Mobile Controlled Robot for Waste Handling

Abstract

Globally, the waste management is becoming a challenging problem because of garbage accumulation due to poor urban planning, overcrowding, etc. In last few years, robotic research is drawing more attention due to its effectiveness in helping humans to bring the waste-free environment as many waste material may cause healthy problems to human beings. This work aims to design and fabricate a robotic arm with four servomotors, which are controlled by a mobile app and Arduino microcontroller. Android based Mobile app is created to control the robotic movements. Two servomotors guide the robot for backward and forward movement and remaining two servomotors for picking and placing the garbages.
