TOPIC: “Smart Trash Collector”

Introduction:
An Al-Based smart trash collector proposes an autonomous robot. It will
pick up the litter and throw it into the mounted bin, using deep neural network
(e.g., RCNN, Faster RCNN) approaches. We employ convolutional neural
network CNN, RCNN for recognition and locating the garbage in image capture
by Pi-Cam equipped on the robot, moreover, this is useful for obstacle
avoidance.

Problem Statement:
 There are millions of dust-bins out there that we use, however still trash
thrown in small amounts, especially in places where it doesn't belong. It also
portrays a bad image of an area. The most frequent littered stuff includes fast
food packing, cigarette butts, used drunk bottles, chewing gum wrappers,
broken electrical equipment parts, toys, broken glass, food scraps, or green
waste. With time it heaps up. A lot of money is spent by municipalities annually
in a cleanup effort to reduce littering. May this make a huge problem.

Objectives:
 To fulfil the task of collecting garbage from certain places.
 To build an automatic trash robot using arduino micro controller which
detects and collects trash.
 To reduce the requirements of manual clearance of different waste.
 To make robotic arm that lift the trash from the ground and place
directly in the bin.
