Abstract

To address the issue of current garbage cleanup vessels being limited to performing garbage cleaning operations in the ocean, without the capability of transferring the garbage from the ocean to the land, this paper presents a spiral-propulsion amphibious intelligent robot for land garbage cleaning and sea garbage cleaning. The design solution is as follows. A mechanical structure based on a spiral drum is proposed. The interior of the spiral drum is hollow, providing buoyancy, allowing the robot to travel both on marshy, tidal flats and on the water surface, in conjunction with underwater thrusters. Additionally, a mechanical-arm shovel is designed, which achieves two-degrees-of-freedom movement through a spiral spline guide and servo, facilitating garbage collection. Our experimental results demonstrated that the robot exhibits excellent maneuverability in marine environments and on beach, marsh, and tidal flat areas, and that it collects garbage effectively.
