Design of River Surface Cleaning “ECOBOT”

Abstract - The increasing pollution and excessive weed growth in rivers pose serious threats to aquatic ecosystems and water quality. This project presents the design of a river surface cleaning and weed-cutting Ecobot aimed at addressing these environmental issues through a sustainable and efficient solution. The robot is equipped with a conveyor mechanism for collecting floating waste and a rotating cutter system for trimming aquatic weeds. Powered by a solar-based energy system, the Ecobot promotes eco-friendly operation while reducing dependence on conventional power sources. The design focuses on lightweight materials and flexibility, ensuring easy maneuverability in water. This multifunctional robot offers a practical approach to maintaining clean water bodies, supporting long-term environmental conservation.
