Abstract
In today's world of plastic, beaches all over the earth are suffering from litter and waste that inevitably reaches the shore and gets swept into the ocean and seas. Even today, litter such as plastic bags and cigarette butts are still a common sight in even some of the most remote beaches. The world responded to this by creating beach cleaners, which clear beaches at night from the leftover litter by visitors. These however are usually found to be large and expensive, as well as limited to utilization when there are no people around as it might be dangerous to operate during human activity. This project exploits the complications with these industrial sized beach cleaners and presents a comprehensive, automated beach cleaner that accounts for these challenges.
