Abstract
This paper presents the development of a waste collection device for ocean surface cleaning. Key considerations in designing such oceanic robots revolve around cost-effectiveness, durability, and resilience to harsh marine conditions. To address these challenges, we devised a square- base structure for the device, enhancing stability and maneuverability to efficiently gather floating waste across the ocean surface. A motorized conveyor belt system was incorporated to facilitate waste collection, seamlessly transferring it into a plastic container affixed to the platform. This design optimizes waste removal efficiency while conserving space, accommodating large volumes of waste within a compact footprint. The robust yet lightweight construction ensures the device can support substantial loads, including the collected waste, conveyor system, and electronic components. To safeguard against water damage, electronic circuits and motors are strategically positioned on the platform. Devices such as Arduino, motors, motor drivers, and Bluetooth modules are used to control the device. The device is capable of handling up to 3 kg of trash, fulfilling the primary objective of creating a versatile equipment operable in diverse marine environments.
