Abstract : Pollution on beaches increasing day by day. The major wastes that are collected from beaches include liquor bottles, cigarettes, and plastic bottles. Out of these, plastic bottles were the major ones. These wastes ended up in the sea if they didn’t collect properly destroying the aquatic life. Manual collection of this waste will result in health problems for the workers. So, there is a need for a machine that will collect this waste and dispose of it with minimum human intervention and cause zero-carbon footage. This paper discusses the design and simulation of a beach cleaning robot named Binman which includes discussions on the overall structure of the robot, motor, and battery selection, and implementation of GPS waypoint navigation using ROS framework.
