Abstract
The constant raise in the levels of garbage in our city contributes to the worldwide pollution nowadays and this becoming a health issue for the entire world. Another problem is to avoid more garbage collectors get ill because of the exposure they have to solid wastes that can make them have health issues. This lead us to design a garbage collector that can move around looking for garbage and can store it in a specific container. It will have a manipulator that will be moving thanks to a vehicle that can avoid obstacles. A camera will detect the garbage whenever it is in front of it and the manipulator will take it. In this work we propose a proof of concept of a mechatronic system that can detect and pick up garbage on a zone using a camera and sensors. © 2019 IEEE.
