Abstract: The present invention relates to an AI-Driven Autonomous Drone and Water Robot System for Real-Time Detection and Cleaning of Polluted Ponds. The system integrates autonomous aerial drones, intelligent water robots, environmental sensors, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Computer Vision, Internet of Things (IoT) communication, and cloud-based analytics to monitor, detect, analyze, and remove pollutants from water bodies. The aerial drone captures environmental images and identifies pollution hotspots including floating waste, algae, plastics, and oil contaminants through AI-based image processing. The detected pollution data are transmitted to an autonomous water robot that navigates toward contaminated locations and performs waste collection operations. Water quality sensors continuously measure environmental parameters including pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature. The AI engine generates pollution maps, predicts contamination trends, optimizes cleaning routes, and supports environmental decision-making. The invention provides continuous monitoring, autonomous cleaning, improved water quality management, reduced human intervention, enhanced ecosystem restoration, and sustainable conservation of freshwater resources.
