Everything is being automated day-by-day. Thus, automated waste collection also is a necessary step to move forward. Managing waste has always been a chore for people. Collecting waste manually causes a lot of effort & time. However, by using a robot it can become very easy. The robot can scan the place after every set period, detect & collect a waste easily. With the help of machine learning, we can easily detect an object & clarify if the object is waste or not. Thus, by detecting a waste the robot can collect it and keep the place clean. It can do the work easily that peoples spend a lot of time and effort to do. As there is no need of manual monitoring for the robot it is more feasible than hiring workers to clean a place & monitor them at the same time.
