Floating Garbage Collector Based on OpenMV

Due to the high cost of human labor for maintenance, garbages in rivers often do not receive immediate cleaning, resulting severe water pollution. Those floating simultaneously strip aesthetic and threaten local marine ecosystem. Thence, we developed an unmanned vessel based on Arduino's platform, capable auto-collecting garbage. The includes two modes: operational mode allows individuals manipulate collect through Bluetooth connection; is OpenMV's video processing function, enabling vessels detect nearby transport into vessel's interior a rotating caterpillar track. At end this project, remains large rooms improvements, such as increasing efficiency effectiveness garbage collection detection. suitable small size or ponds were artificial cleaning faces obstacles.
