Final year BTech Degree Project
This project aimed to enhance the cleaning efficiency of robot by handling the litter waste materials like food-containers, plastic bottles etc. within the floor by the help of robotic arm and seggregate the waste materials like biodegradable and non biodegradable to the basin attached to the robot.
- Built prototyoe model equipped with robotic arm, LiDAR and YOLOv8 based image detection.
- Shortlisted for Centre for Engineering Research and Development (CERD) funding.
- We also implemented foundational mapping and navigation using the ROS 2 framework and SLAM Toolbox.

- The future scope of SWEEBO lies in integrating cognitive robotics, enabling it to perceive, learn, and adapt to dynamic environments for efficient debris collection.
- By leveraging AI, deep learning, and sensor fusion, SWEEBO can enhance object detection, autonomous navigation, and decision-making.
Developed as part of Major Project work at TKM College of Engineering, Kollam (2025).
