Ro-Boat: IoT-Based Non-Autonomous Garbage Collector Boat for Organic, Metal, and Non-Metal Waste

Ro-boat is a prototype garbage collecting vessel which generally operates in aquatic environments such as rivers, lakes and seas. Innovated in the way it operates, Ro-Boat is designed to optimize the procedures to collect garbage, especially microplastic and reduce water pollution. The ship's hull is designed with a double hull type and the propulsion system of this ship uses a propeller, while the method of transporting waste used on Ro-Boat uses a conveyor belt with an adjustable speed. Ro-boat control system is supported by a remote control as a transmitter and the it is functionally designed in an easy way to use so that anyone can operate with ease. The dimensions of the Ro-boat are designed to be as minimal while still paying attention to the level of functionality of this ship in terms of waste transport capacity. Therefore, Ro-Boat focuses on technology that is efficient while saving the water environment.
