The upgrade from v6 to v6.5 saw a higher coupling with IOT framework and attempts at using MQTT used in conjunction with WebSocket json packets to drive and operate the motors of robot .

Project Ramudroid is open source on Github

Ramudroid is an autonomous robotic vehicle to pick up litter from roads

The key differentiators

• Meant to clean outdoors and rugged surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, narrow lanes, alleys etc which are tedious for manual cleaning
• No vacuum or suction rather it uses energy-efficient brush-based design
• Solar Energy Powered thus self-reliant and non-polluting
• Intelligently targets litter using computer vision trained models

Inspired by Bharat Swachata Abhiyaan and aimed at keeping the urban environment clean and help in garbage classification towards efficient recycling .

Summary of approaches to stream in realtime from Rpi based Robot

Live Streaming — Rpi Camera Access Libraries

• flash
• ffmpeg
• WebRTC
• motion
• Uv4l
• Janus
• fswebcam
• Rpi Cam

Pros and cons of different Media Capture Libraries

Motion -mjpeg

Adv:

• Easy to install and run
• Inbuilt monitoring

Disadv:

• Delay in stream capture
• Frame reload visible

Ffmpeg

Adv:

• Flexibility to change parameters

Disadv:

• Many dependencies
• Heavier to install and make on Rpi h/w

Uv4l — WebRTC

Adv:

• Fast , no delay
• open codec — vp8

Disadv:

• P2p only
• Limited codec support
• Requires https to capture from browser

WebRTC

Adv:

No plugins — No installations of flash or any other 3rd party…

Ramudroid, inspired by Bharat Swachata Abhiyaan, was invented ( v1 in 2015) to clean roads and gullies(lanes) for a cleaner environment.

Talk and demo include the design and operation, being powered by solar energy, using camera’s media stream to identify target garbage type and 3 brush design to lift up small objects like plastic cups, wrappers, leaves etc. Also discusses detecting obstruction to reroute itself and act autonomously. Last we also discuss how we can analyse data on garbage spotted and collected for segregation and spotting defaulter people or neighbourhoods who litter regularly.
