Design of beach cleaning robot (BeBot)

An eco-friendly solution that cleans the beach without the use of human hands and saves workers from the lengthy and exhausting hours of manual beach cleanup is achieved via implementing a Beach Cleaning Robot (BeBot). The operation of the designed BeBot is accomplished via Arduino, which is equipped with different sensors, such as humidity, temperature, and compass sensors. BeBot is programmed to work in two modes of operation: automated and manual. In automatic mode, BeBot will go to the shore in four phases along a predetermined course, while the user must first determine the number of loops based on the area to be cleaned. The Wi-Fi feature of the transceiver was used to control the BeBot. By transmitting a signal with commands from the control box to the robot itself, the control of the robot has been achieved in manual mode smoothly.
