Development of an Autonomous Cleaning Robot Based on Helical Propulsion

Overview

This project developed an autonomous cleaning robot for coastal ecological restoration. The core innovation lies in integrating YOLOv8 deep learning perception with Archimedes spiral propulsion. Addressing the issues of traditional equipment sinking in loose sand and damaging benthic habitats through compaction, the project proposes an "integrated perception-drive" solution. Utilizing YOLOv8 for precise debris identification and the non-continuous contact of the spiral mechanism, the robot achieves a 94.2% cleaning rate while reducing surface physical disturbance by 58%, offering an intelligent, low-interference solution for coastal ecological restoration.
