Abstract
The Swachh Bharat Mission was launched by the Government of India on 2nd October, 2014 aiming towards a clean and trash-free India. Many cities and places in India are suffering with trash and litter lying on the roads, railway platforms, etc. Generally, manual sweepers and laborers are deployed for collecting trash at such places. In this paper, we present a sweeper robot that is capable of sweeping trash. There are various such sweeping robots and machines available in the market, but they focus mainly on dust and small-sized trash. The sweeper robot presented here is designed mainly for sweeping large-sized trash like one-liter bottles (empty as well as filled), metallic-cans, etc. The design and fabrication of such a sweeping mechanism is discussed in this paper.
