Beach cleaning robots have been proposed as an option in reducing the pollution of beaches in Mexico, through garbage collection. To collect waste the robot must have a mechanism that can take the waste and deposit it in a container where they can remain without generating pollution. In our institute various mechanisms have been implemented that allow waste to be collected and this article shows the description of some of them showing the application of additive manufacturing in their design. The objective is to show the design, implementation and application of each collection system designed, showing the improvement by applying additive manufacturing. The basic contribution of this work is to show different design options and the parameters to consider in the design of each of them.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
