thus keeping the water clean hence decreasing pollution.
In this project we are going to use Arduino and Android
software to model and build Arduino Circuit for our
water collector bot. It will collect the waste from the
surface of water and push it towards the land around it.
With the use of DC motors, the bot and collectors will
have to & fro movement.
I. INTRODUCTION
From medical to space study, the work of the Internet
of Things and robotics is done. There are improvements in
technology, but not in water purification. Cleaning water
bodies can be done with the use of robotics and IOT. Many
benefits are brought to the field by the water cleaning tasks. Fig 1. Architecture of the Bot

C. Node MCU
There are open source board designs that are available.
The name "NodeMCU" combines "node" and "MCU"
(micro-controller unit).The term "NodeMCU" strictly
speaking refers to the firmware rather than the associated
development kits.Both the firmware and prototyping board
designs are open source.The firmware uses the Lua scripting
language. The firmware is based on the eLua project, and
built on the Espressif Non-OS SDK for ESP8266. There are
many open source projects that it uses. Users need to select
modules that are relevant to their project in order to build a
custom firmware. Support for the 32-bit ESP32 has also
been implemented.
D. Batteries
A battery is a device consisting of one or more cells
with a connection to the outside world. The positive and
negative terminals of a battery are used to supply electric
power. electrons will flow through an external electric
circuit to the positive terminal from the terminal marked (Fig. 2 Bot collecting trash)
negative When a battery is connected to an external electric
load, a redox reaction converts high-energy reactants to
lower-energy products, and the free-energy difference is
delivered to the external circuit as electrical energy.
E. MI Camera
The Mi Home Security Camera 360° is a 2-megapixel
camera with an f/2.1 aperture. In well-lit environments, be it
indoors or outdoors, the camera captured an ample amount
of light in our tests, which means that videos retained a
decent amount of colour and looked clear.
F. Blynk
Blynk is an internet of things platform that can be used
to control devices on the internet. A graphical interface or
human machine interface can be created with the help of this
application.

V. CONCLUSION
A rover platform is designed, built and programmed
for cleaning water. It is controlled by user by using an app
and a camera on the top. This helps the user determine any
waste floating on water. Video transmission and rover
controlling is done using WI-FI and hence the range will be
longer than traditional Bluetooth module. This will ensure
that the user can operate the rover from a 150 feet radius.
