Abstract
This project is an application for playgrounds. It will provide a way to facilitate cleaning playground by removing solid waste from it's ground. The most important aspects in this project is take a picture of the playground and detect the locations of waste.
Then the robot will move to these locations and use his arm to catch the waste and put it in the basket.
Our methodology is to use python language and opencv on raspberry pi3 to do image processing on image that taken by camera (connected with raspberry) and detect the locations of waste and applying shortest path algorithm to save time and power . After that raspberry will send commands via Bluetooth to the arduino which control the movement of the robot. Finally the robot will move to the location of the waste and catch it.
