protopic These are the different pictures of roughly what the robot will look like. The exact size of this prototype is not up to scale, but essentially there will be an exterior part that will protect the interior of the robot. The robot’s interior will be a bit more complicated in the…
Read MoreThis brochure is a bit of a summary of what our mission and purpose was to create this robot. We are calling it the ‘TC Robot,’ short for the Trash Collecting Robot. Our target audience is the general population in Manila. Because of the fact that we are trying to educate the public on our…
Read MoreWe have 3 sketches for ideas. The first one is our artificial insect idea, the second is our smart trash can, and our last one is the trash collecting robot. In designing these in our mockups, we started simple and thought of structure. We began with the foundation. Starting with how each one would look…
Read MoreCheckpoint 2 3 solutions: Have a “Wall-E” system. Have robots come and “eat” the garbage. They can be programmed to go to certain dump sites where they will form/drop their collected garbage onto a certain spot. Then bigger “Wall-E” can come and take that garbage and destroy it so that it does not just get…
Read MoreGCH205-finaldecisionmatrix The final decision matrix yielded the highest score for the trash picking robot. We used a list of multiple criteria, explained in the PDF, that helped us arrive at that solution. It had a much higher score than the others, making it clear to us it was a good idea. The use of the…
Read MoreHere is a list of our three possible solutions to help improve the overwhelming trash in Manila: 1. Having Artificial Insects: The idea is to program these insects to scan the garbage and eat whatever is not biodegradable. The way it works is that their “stomachs” could be another kind of incinerator, so they are…
Read MorePossible Engineering-based Solutions to the Sanitation issue in Manila Slums: A machine that can be accessed in public that you can throw your trash away in and then the machine disintegrates the waste For paper/plastic/cardboard items, they can be thrown away and used for composting, that way it could also help the environment A filtration system that can be…
Read MoreSummary: Manila is one of the most populated cities in the Philippines. It is very overpopulated, in fact, with a total population of 1.6 million (Business Insider). There are many squatter settlements as a result of this and this also has an effect on the environment. As the city frequently gets flooded, this is…
Read MoreFor this project, our goal is to come up with an engineering solution to tackle an overall issue regarding the overcrowding of slums in Manila, Philippines. Before we come up with solutions, we must first isolate the problems in these communities in order to reach the end goal. The problems we are currently researching are:…
