Intelligent Robot for Cleaning Garbage Based on OpenCV

Abstract

In order to clean the garbage effectively in small areas, such as communities, gardens and squares, and save the cost of garbage cleaning, this paper developed an intelligent robot, which can clean garbage independently outdoors. The vacuum cleaner on the chassis of the robot can inhale small garbage, and the flexible manipulator can grab big garbage. The robot identifies garbage based on OpenCV. To improve the accuracy of garbage recognition, the method of edge detection and contour detection is used in the process of image recognition. The test of cleaning efficiency based on the Yolo model shows that the recognition accuracy of the robot is 95%. It can clean garbage well.
