Abstract: ABSTRACT Water Cleaning Robot is an innovative and autonomous surface-cleaning system designed to efficiently remove waste, pollutants, and floating debris from water bodies. This project introduces a robust and intelligent solution that replaces manual labour with a self-navigating robotic platform capable of cleaning lakes, ponds, reservoirs, swimming pools, and industrial water tanks. Built with a focus on sustainability, reliability, and operational ease, the Water Cleaning Robot integrates advanced sensing mechanisms with smart navigation algorithms to deliver an effective and ecofriendly cleaning process. The system features a streamlined and adaptive design, enabling it to detect, collect, and store floating waste with minimal human intervention. Leveraging ultrasonic sensors, GPS-assisted routing, and obstacle-avoidance technology, it autonomously manoeuvres across water surfaces while ensuring precise coverage and real-time environmental awareness. Enhanced functionalities-such as automated waste segregation, solar-powered operation, and continuous monitoring-add layers of efficiency that significantly reduce maintenance efforts and operational costs. With its durable construction, optimized energy consumption, and integrated feedback and alert mechanisms, the Water Cleaning Robot offers a practical yet advanced alternative to traditional manual cleaning methods. Whether for improving water quality, supporting environmental conservation, or enabling scalable smart-city initiatives, this project reimagines water surface cleaning as an autonomous, intelligent, and future-ready solution for modern ecological management.
