River Clean Robot

The River Clean Robot is a Python-based simulation of a robot designed to patrol a river, collect trash, and call for a dumper when its trash bin is full. This project provides a basic framework for the robot's operations, including movement, trash collection, and unloading the collected trash.

Introduction

The River Clean Robot project simulates a river cleaning robot that can move forward, turn, collect trash, and call for a dumper when its trash bin is full. This project serves as an introductory example of robotic control using Python, showcasing basic movement and task automation.

Features

• Move forward
• Turn left and right
• Detect and collect trash
• Call for a dumper to empty the trash bin when full

Requirements

• Python 3.6 or higher

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/erpranjalmishra/sudoshift
   cd rcrmotions

2. (Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

3. Install any necessary dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt  # Currently, there are no external dependencies

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python river_clean_robot.py

2. The script will simulate the robot's patrol and cleaning process, including moving, turning, collecting trash, and calling for a dumper when necessary.

Example

Here's how you can use the RiverCleanRobot class in your own script:

from river_clean_robot import RiverCleanRobot

robot = RiverCleanRobot(max_capacity=5)
robot.patrol_and_clean(10)  # Patrol and clean for 10 steps
robot.patrol_and_clean_with_turns(20)  # Patrol and clean for 20 steps with random turns

print(f"Total trash collected: {robot.trash_collected}")

Code Explanation

The main code is contained in the river_clean_robot.py file. Below is an overview of the class and methods:

RiverCleanRobot Class

• __init__(self, max_capacity=10): Initializes the robot with a maximum trash capacity.
• move_forward(self): Moves the robot forward.
• turn_left(self): Turns the robot left.
• turn_right(self): Turns the robot right.
• collect_trash(self): Collects trash and increments the trash counter.
• check_for_trash(self): Randomly determines if there is trash to collect.
• call_dumper(self): Calls a dumper to empty the trash bin.
• patrol_and_clean(self, steps): Patrols the river and cleans for a specified number of steps.
• patrol_and_clean_with_turns(self, steps): Patrols the river with random turns and cleans for a specified number of steps.

Future Enhancements

• Add obstacle detection and avoidance
• Implement GPS-based navigation
• Integrate with real hardware for actual river cleaning
• Enhance trash detection with computer vision
