Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart robotic water tank cleaning system with AI-based dirt _ detection and InT monitoring for cleaning the interior surface of a water stora_ ge ta_ nk with reduced manual intervention. The system comprises a robotic cleaning assembly having a central hub, a plurality of radial cleaning arms extending from the hub, a mounting flange provided at the outer end of each cleaning arm for supporting a cleaning member, a vertical support shaft and a base mounting support for positioning the assembly within the water tank, and a drive arrangement for imparting movement to the robotic cleaning assembly. The system further comprises a dirt-detection sensor for acquiring data relating to a condition of the interior surface of the tank, an AT processing unit configured to process the acquired data and determine whether a cleaning operation is required, a controller configured to actuate the drive arrangement based on an output of the Al processing unit, and an IoT communication module configured to transmit dirt-condition status, cleaning status and/or abnormal-condition alerts to an authorized remote monitoring interface. The invention thereby provides an automated, condition-based tank cleaning arrangement with remote monitoring capability and reduced dependence on manual cleaning.
