HYDROSYNC : AN APP CONTROLLED WASTE COLLECTOR

The device presented in this paper works semi- autonomously and provides a cost effective solution. It helps in reducing water pollution and enhances flexibility for adapting into dynamic environments. This device can be easily implemented by municipal and other local agencies for maintaining proper aqua hygiene. This also involves less manpower, thereby reducing the risk of people working in polluted water environments.   However , due to the fundamental prototype level design, our device has a few constraints. It has a limited operation range due to use of the basic bluetooth module. Our device is to clean smaller water bodies. The cleaning capacity and operating time are dependent on conveyor size and battery capacity, which could provide a scope for future enhancement for increased automation and compact yet complicated designing methods.
