Trash Collection Robot

Trash Collection Robot

Technical Specifications

Platform: Mobile chassis with custom mounting stack
Actuation: Servo-driven arm and gripper
Control: Embedded controller with autonomous task sequencing
Focus: Collection, transport, and dump cycles in a mock arena

The Trash Collection Robot was built to autonomously identify, collect, and dump objects within a defined arena. The system pairs a mobile base with a servo-actuated arm, enabling controlled pickup and release actions while navigating to target locations.

This project highlights mechanical integration, motion planning, and real-world testing under time and space constraints, with iterative refinements driven by on-site trials.
