welcome to Tech Pacs in today's video
we're diving into an exciting project
that tackles one of the most pressing
environmental challenges Waste
Management introducing the waste
collecting robot smart waste segregation
system this Innovative project aims to
automate the process of waste
segregation using a combination of
sensors a camera and a robotic arm the
waste collecting robot is designed to
identify and sort waste into
biodegradable and non-biodegradable
categories uring efficient and
eco-friendly disposal as our world faces
increasing waste related issues the
waste collecting robot offers a glimpse
into how technology can contribute to a
cleaner and more sustainable future
let's see the demonstration of our waste
collecting robot this intelligent
machine is designed to differentiate
between biodegradable and
non-biodegradable waste and place them
into their respective containers let's
see how it works as we place a plastic
bottle in front of the robot the
ultrasonic sensor detects an object
within its range the camera then
activates bringing artificial
intelligence and deep learning into play
the system quickly identifies the object as
as
non-biodegradable after identification
the robot picks up the plastic bottle
and places it into the designated non-biodegradable
container next we present a cardboard
box which is biodegradable the robot
again detects the object using its
ultrasonic sensor stops and the camera
activates to classify the object once
the object is classified as
biodegradable the robot approaches it
carefully grasps it and deposits it into
right now we place a tissue roll in
front of the robot as expected the robot
correctly identifies the tissue as
biodegradable and deposits it into the right
container finally let's test the robot
with a plastic bubble wrap
roll the robot identifies it as not non
biodegradable and places it into the appropriate
container in addition to sorting waste
our robot is equipped with obstacle
detection if a person wall or any other
object comes in front of it the robot
will automatically take a back step and
adjust its path here we simulate this
this by placing a hand in front of the
robot it detects the obstacle moves back
adjusts its direction and continues on its
path and there you have it our waste
sorting robot efficiently and accurately
classifies and disposes of waste
contributing to a cleaner and more
organized environment thank you for
demonstration welcome to the journey of
building our waste collecting robot
let's dive in we start with the basics
Mobility these are the wheels that will
drive our robot enabling it to navigate
through various
environments next up the driving force
behind our wheels these powerful Motors
will ensure our robot can move smoothly
and precisely as it carried its tasks to
secure everything in place we have these
sturdy clamps they will hold our Motors
and wheels together ensuring stability
and durability
let's go ahead and attach the motors to
the clamps this step is crucial for
maintaining the alignment and balance of our
robot with the motors secured we can now
attach the wheels our robot is beginning
gripper this is the part of the robot
responsible for picking up
waste we'll attach it to a Servo motor
giving it the flexibility and control
with the mechanical components in place
it's time to bring in the electronics we
start by soldering the wires of our DC
motors ensuring strong and reliable connections
our robot needs a place to store the
waste it collects so we'll create a
container using a simple yet effective
cardboard sheet this will be the
temporary home for the waste until it's
next we'll make some precise drills for
the wires of our l298 motor driver and
up this motor driver is the heart of our
robot's movement controlling the speed
motors finally we install the eyes of
our robot a camera mounted at the front
near the gripper this camera will feed
realtime data to our deep learning model
allowing the robot to identify and
accuracy and there you have it our waste
collecting robot is complete and ready
to make the world a cleaner place one
piece of waste at a time watch as it
smartly identifies and sorts waste
making recycling easier and more
efficient let's take a closer look at
the components that make the waste
collecting robot a
reality the heart of the system is the
Raspberry Pi microcontroller which
manages all sensor inputs and motor
controls an ultrasonic sensor is used to
detect objects in front of the bot four
DC motors control the movement of the
robot's Wheels while a fifth DC motor
operates the robotic gripper
additionally two Servo Motors are
responsible for the precise up down and
left right movements of the robotic arm
a camera is integrated into the system
for waist classification using a deep
learning model allowing the waste
collecting robot to distinguish between
biodegradable and non-biodegradable
waste and to power the whole system we
have used a power bank of 5vt 2200 Mage
battery here's the detailed circuit
schematic of the waste collecting robot
project this circuit diagram illustrates
how the ultra Sonic sensor is connected
to the Raspberry Pi to detect objects
the four DC motors are wired to the
motor driver controlled by the Raspberry
Pi to navigate the robot the DC motor
for the gripper and the two Servo motors
for the arm movements are also connected
to the Raspberry Pi enabling the waste
collecting robot to pick up and sort
waste accurately finally the camera a
module is connected to the Raspberry Pi
for real-time image processing and waste
classification and to power the whole
system we have used a power bank of 5
volts 2200 M battery to make it
Standalone robot let's walk you through
the code for a Raspberry Pi robot that
detects and sorts biodegradable and
non-biodegradable waste using deep
learning and Servo Motors we start by
importing libraries like open CV for
video processing tensorflow light for
object detection and gpio for
controlling the
servos we load tensorflow light models
to detect objects and classify by waste
and we also load labels for these
objects the servo Motors are responsible
for picking up and placing the waste in
the correct bins and we categorize waste
into biodegradable and non-biodegradable
types the functions closed gripper and
open gripper control the grippers
movements using gpio pins the put
biodegradable waste and put
non-biodegradable waste functions manage
the positioning of the robot's arm and
gripper to ensure the waist is dumped in
the appropriate bin we pre-process video
frames with the pre-process frame
function and detect frame performs
object detection using tensorflow light
this involves classifying the detected
objects and deciding where to place them
the object detection thread runs in the
background processing frames and
detecting objects while also using
ultrasonic sensors to avoid obstacles
the process frame function takes care of
sorting the waist by checking
classifications and moving the robot to
place the waist correctly
the find camera index function
identifies the connected camera to
ensure the robot uses the correct video
feed for
detection in the main function we set up
video capture start the detection thread
and process each frame until the program
is stopped this code enables the
Raspberry Pi robot to autonomously sort
waste into biodegradable and
non-biodegradable categories efficiently
using a gripper and servos in conclusion
the waste collecting robot smart waste
segregation system exemplifies how
technology can revolutionize Waste
