Design and Implementation of Metallic Waste Collection Robot

The accumulation of waste has become a problem in urban city dumps. There are different kinds of waste that affect our environment, for example metallic and plastic waste. Developing metallic waste collection robotic system is a big challenge. There is limited research available about robotic systems that specialize in the collection and processing of waste. In this paper we propose robotic system that can be used for metallic waste collection and processing. This robot is equipped with a metal detector, ultrasonic sensor, control and power unit, and actuators. This autonomous robot can perform tasks such as obstacle avoidance and metal detection
