Dumka Engineering Students to Debut Autonomous Water-Cleaning Robot at Basukinath Dham
Five final-year BTech students from Dumka Engineering College in Jharkhand have developed an autonomous water-cleaning robot named 'Nature's Revival Bot.' The robot, designed to remove floating debris from the Shiv Ganga pond at Basukinath Dham, will be demonstrated during the Shravani Mela starting July 30. Equipped with multiple motors, a photoelectric sensor, and a hybrid battery system, the device uses a motor-driven conveyor belt to collect waste such as plastic bottles and polythene bags from the water surface.
