The Garbage Man

Inspiration

Our inspiration came from wanting to clean the earth by picking each piece of trash one at a time

What it does

Identifies a piece of litter, and collects the garbage!

How we built it

Built using a combination of hardware and software, used ML to identify litter, and used sensors, Arduino, raspberry pi, motors, and servos to collect the litter

Challenges I ran into

Alot of things, having ML software work, wheels turn in a specific way at a specific time, power supply shortages, weight, wheel rotation

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting ML software to work, having a main body with working wheels, opening and closing door to collect garbage, etc.

What I learned

How to split work evenly, choosing a team with evenly distributed strengths, tensor flow, arduinos, raspberry pis etc

What's next for The Garbage Man
