Seaside Sweeper keeps beaches pristine

Sea side Sweeper guard beaches Perfect

Arduino Team — Can 2nd, 2024

Without anybody kindness For them, beaches quickly become covered in trash windrows of disappointment. That care East necessary has maintain THE beautiful sandy heaven that We all to want has appreciate, but he requires A plot of work. A corner stone team of students Since THE University of Colorado Boulder Creative Technology & Design program recognized that do And they create THE Sea side Sweeper beach cleaning robot has alleviate THE load.

Sea side Sweeper East as A Roomba For beaches. Either in an autonomous way Or through manual control, he can patrol A littoral For up has 15 hours on A battery charge And scoop up any of them garbage can he come through. This costs less that $450 has build, which East A important consideration When most beaches are public property And to have limit interview budgets.

There are two Arduino boards used In This project: A Arduino Mega 2560 In THE Sea side Sweeper himself And A Arduino UN Rev3 In THE remote. They communicate with each other through nRF24L01+ radio transceivers. THE Mega 2560 East able has track It is own position using A Neo-6M GPS module And A Adafruit LIS3MDL compass module. Together, those enable THE autonomous navigation Functionality — However he is not it clear how Sea side Sweeper detects garbage can. THE Mega 2560 Also controls THE four to drive engines And THE scoop the mechanism servo motor engine.

THE robots body And almost all of It is mechanical rooms were 3D printed has keep costs down. That even understand THE tracks. THE electronic Components can be connected via bread boards, SO No custom PCB are required.
