A Review of Trash Collecting and Cleaning Robots

Trash present at different locations, both outdoor and indoor is a menace. Collection of the garbage so that it can be disposed off properly can be a mundane and time-consuming job requiring human labor. This was avoided by using Robots to automate this task and increase efficiency. Technologies involved in the development of these automated systems using sensors and processing units such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi. Most of them were built more specific to their requirements like which terrain (indoor or outdoor, land or water) they must work on, and different autonomy levels (manual, remote-control or fully autonomous were attained or proposed to attain successfully by using IoT for remote-control and path-planning using image-processing in fully autonomous robots.
