This project focuses on developing an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) designed for efficient debris collection in confined water bodies. The USV features a catamaran-inspired design with PVC hulls and a modular debris collection system, combining buoyancy and effective debris capture capabilities.
- Catamaran Design: The catamaran-inspired design with PVC hulls ensures stability and buoyancy on the water surface.
- Debris Collection System: A modular debris collection system is implemented to effectively collect and store floating debris.
- Dual Operation Modes:
- Remote Control Mode: Users can navigate the USV via Bluetooth using the Dabble app.
- Autonomous Mode: Onboard cameras and Python-based computer vision algorithms enable real-time debris detection and navigation.
- Propulsion and Control: Integrated DC motors and an ESP32 microcontroller provide propulsion and control for the USV.
- Achieve buoyancy and propulsion on the water surface with and without debris in the storage.
- Implement an effective waste collector mechanism for collecting and storing floating debris.
- Establish remote control connectivity between the user controller and the USV.
- Implement object detection and tracking algorithms for autonomous operation.
This versatile solution, adaptable to various environmental conditions, promises significant advancements in debris collection efficiency and environmental conservation efforts. It heralds a new era in sustainable water management practices, contributing to cleaner and healthier water bodies.
