Study and Analysis of Various forces acting on developed Automated Lake Cleaning Robot Model - A Review

Abstract

Analysis on an (Pre-designed) Automated lake cleaning robot is conducted and the optimization of various critical components is done. The robot is a prototype model for a lake cleaning machine which collects surface waste and debris from the water surface with the help of conveyor mechanism which is built with it. Some critical components of this machines are analysed on ANSYS 18.1 software to study deformations and stresses induced on them due to external forces. The forces acting on the components are first identified, followed by theoretical calculations of the forces. Parts where forces need to applied and constraints are parameterized. Four types of results are studied firstly the Von-misses Stress, Strain, Deformation and the Factor of safety. The obtained results are studied and are used for further prototype models.
