Garbage Collecting Ship Robot Using Arduino Uno Microcontroller Based on Android Smartphone

摘要

Garbage collection in the Siak tributary used an excavator where the excavator cannot reach the garbage in the middle of the Siak tributary. To make it easier to collect garbage in the middle of the Siak tributary, a robotic ship collecting robot system is make using ardino uno microcontroller with joystick controller ps 2 based on an android smartphone. The whole tool was divided into several parts, which consist of an Android smartphone, PS 2 wireless receiver, Arduino Uno microcontroller, PS 2 joystick, motor relay driver, DC motor, servo motor, and camera. This tool works when the PS 2 Joystick connects the connection to the PS 2 wireless receiver, and the PS 2 wireless receiver then to the Arduino Uno microcontroller to process commands, from the Arduino Uno microcontroller then to the motor relay driver that works to regulate the voltage of the electric current to drive the DC motor, and Servo motors function to transport trash in the river, as well as smartphones as displays to display the results of the camera. The method used is the prototype method. The results showed that the PS 2 joystick could communicate with Arduino Uno with a distance of 25 meters if there is no barrier and 15 meters if there is a barrier and the robot ship is only in the form of a prototype that is only able to take out garbage such as drink bottles caps, caps galon, and drink glass 200 gram.
