Invention Description/ Abstract:
Develop a conveyor-based waste sorting station using a camera. The ESP32-CAM classifies each item by shape as it travels along the belt, and a servo-driven arm will then direct each item into their matching bins.
For the collection of filled bin, an autonomous vehicle will pick up the bin, dispose at the right collection point, and deliver the next empty bin.
Invention Technical Description
Operations:
Waste is placed on the conveyor belt.
The camera identifies and classifies the types of waste.
Arms placed along the belt direct the waste to the designated bin.
The autonomous track vehicle collects the filled bin, delivers it to the appropriate disposal point, and replaces it with an empty bin.
The hardware consists of the following:
STM32 Microcontroller
ESP32-CAM
Ultrasonic Sensors
Keypad / LCD
Servo for Belt and Arms
Buzzer / LED
Arduino Zumo Robot
Wi-Fi Module
Bluetooth Module
Demostration/ Presentation Video
