Some of the most serious problems in cities are soil pollution and littering in public places. The amount of litter pilled up in the venues of public parks is so much that it indirectly causes different phenomena like insecurity, crime and promotes more pollution. In that sense, this paper presents the design of an autonomous robotic system for performing the tasks of collection, sweeping, vacuuming and cleaning at ground level. This work shows a proof-of-concept and a prototype in order to validate the proposed mechatronics system. Experimental results show that this machine is able to clean wide areas, promoting less pollution and litter in public spaces like parks. © 2018 IEEE.
