Robots can move numerous different methods, including crawling, jumping, wheeled,

and legged robots. In a constrained area, a hopping robot can turn where other robots cannot.

A robot of this type can also navigate difficult terrain that is riddled with impediments. The

jumping robot will be more maneuverable and swifter if we add wheels because it will be

using two different types of propulsion.

A garbage collecting robot is one practical usage for mobile robots. The most popular

domestic robot is the renowned robotic vacuum cleaner. A robot that recognizes and sorts the

waste will be developed as part of the robotic garbage collector (Lindner, Lars & Flores-

Fuentes… 2019).

Due to increasing population, the demand for proper disposal of garbage is also

increasing. People need more work force and in the end, we cannot manage anymore because

of this negligence. Based on the tree diagram, this article suggest the efficiency of shifting to

automated garbage collection in all places.

Robots facilitate recycling by classifying and sorting different waste streams, then

moving the debris to the trash. Robots are also intended to separate, transport, and process

various forms of hospital trash as part of a medical waste management solution. Vacuuming,

cleaning, mowing, and sorting trash are just a few of the many chores that robots are capable

of. Robots that collect trash and are equipped with Al can locate residential rubbish using

GPS. This kind of robot employs Algorithms to find the best route and method for rubbish

pickup after gathering data from its associated sensors. Waste management robots can sort

waste materials rapidly and effectively without using excessive amounts of electricity or

money, and automated waste management and waste treatment operations can cut carbon

dioxide emissions (Savarimuthu et al 2021)

The proposal in the tree diagram suggests the use of AIs especially the classification

of garbage. The literature also suggest the connection and the possibility of AIs to take over
human effort in material recovery of wastes. It saves almost half of our effort, cost of money

if the said plan is be materialize.

A good answer in this area is smart trash management. In contrast to conventional

"waste management systems," this approach is automated, providing the potential quickest

route, intelligent monitoring, saving unnecessary vehicle fuel costs, and guaranteeing time

efficiency. Intelligent systems are being created in this area to ensure progress and

effectiveness. Robotic waste management and monitoring systems are one of the most

dynamic and successful ways. The most recent and efficient component to the smart waste

management system is artificial intelligence (AI). Trash management encompasses a number

of distinct areas, including waste categorization, effective sorting, automated identification,

estimation of waste generation, etc. Varieties of AI models have been used to solve various

problems in each of these areas (Rose, Bruce 2022).

As an integration to AI technologies, it is important to manage and monitor the

process. Cameras and dashboards should be created to attain systematic approach in the waste

disposal process. Centralized headquarters is a solution for upgrading and sending commands

and programs for the AIs to work. DOST, DENR and local government shall work together

for the success of this.

A 16-year-old high school student from Abra has made use of functional artificial

intelligence and developed a robot that can pick and sort trash gathered from canals and

waterways. The actual robot was given a grip, but the grip proved to be problematic, so he

decided to install a conveyor instead. This conveyor allows waste to pass through a sensor

that determines whether it is metal or plastic, and then ends in different containers that it

carries. The robot's prototype was made from leftover supplies and Lego pieces. A used

electric wheelchair that he discovered at a facility for recycling scrap served as the basis for

the actual robot. (Agoot, 2019)


This report connects the idea of recycling and creating more useful things out of the

trash. There are genius and unidentified people through the help of DOST can create simple

robots or anything that can help to eliminate trash per se.

A group of students from the Philippines developed a drone that can float on water

and gather rubbish from rivers, lakes, and oceans. The Ocdron, also known as the aqua drone,

is the thesis of software engineering students at iAcademy Jean Michel Gomez, Allain

Vincent Gaspar, Mel Ivan Magsino, and Christian Gaspar. The drone is operated by a mobile

app and run on solar power. The machine also disperses lime powder to maintain the water's

pH balance in addition to collecting rubbish. The crew claims that they were inspired to

create the aqua drone after observing that there were more cleanup campaigns on land than in

aquatic areas (News, 2022)

DOST and government shall invest technologies that monitors realtime the status of

our oceans and any bodies of water. This new can suggest renewable way of power that can

supply energy to our robotics aquatic garbage collectors. This also connects the process of

eliminating carbon emission machineries.

An aquatic drone called WasteShark hopes to clean up the world’s shorelines, too, by

sucking up the garbage it catches on its way. Developed by a Dutch company called

RanMarine Technology, the robot can swallow up to 60 kg. or 200 liters of plastic, algae, and

other waste in one trip. Its inventors said that the machine is pollution-free and shouldn’t be a

problem to marine creatures. WasteShark can swim up to eight hours at a time and can hold

as much as 350 kg. of trash in its cage. Its inventors say that once the robot reached its full

capacity, it swims back to the shore where it only needs to be emptied before it can swim

again. It can be steered manually via remote control or through a plotted map on an iPad. It’s

best suited for harbors, rivers, and canals (Chua, 2019).


Indeed, in every endeavor of zero waste management system procedure, we shall

consider the capacity, money involve for the investments of AIs and robots the pros and cons

in creating these projects. Proper planning prevents poor output. In the end it is the mankind

that is vulnerable of the echoing effects of improper solid waste disposal.
