Abstract: In this paper, we propose to design and develop prototype autonomous
robots/drone which can segregate and collect recyclable plastic waste from land, water
or river bodies and railway tracks across India. These solar powered robots can be
tracked from anywhere using cloud and mobile apps. The prime technologies used
include Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud Computing, Digital Image/Video Processing,
Machine Learning and Robotics. As we know, recycled plastic produces about 3.5 kg
less CO2 compared to 6 kg of CO2 for new plastic and 6,137 tonnes/day waste remain
uncollected and littered across India viz. Delhi-690, Chennai- 430, Kolkata-425,
Mumbai-408 ton/day. After collecting the waste, it can be sent to relevant industries
for recycling. We believe these robots assist in realizing our Government's SwachhBhaarath and Make in India schemes along with implementing Smart Cities.
Key-words: Internet of Things, Cloud Computing, Machine Learning, Robotics
Image/Video Processing, Robotics, Swachh Bhaarath. Make in India.
