Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar-powered autonomous floating device for real-time water quality monitoring and intelligent waste detection and segregation in aquatic environments. The device comprises a buoyant floating structural body supporting a renewable energy subsystem, environmental sensing subsystem, image acquisition subsystem, processing architecture, propulsion subsystem, robotic waste collection subsystem, and wireless communication subsystem. Multiple sensors continuously monitor water quality parameters including pH, turbidity, total dissolved solids, and temperature. An elevated optical camera module captures water- surface images, which are processed by a primary processing unit to identify and classify floating waste materials. A secondary control unit controls propulsion and robotic collection mechanisms to navigate toward detected waste, retrieve waste objects, and transfer collected materials into designated segregated compartments. The system further transmits environmental and operational data to remote monitoring infrastructure. The integrated architecture enables autonomous, sustainable, and continuous environmental monitoring and waste management with minimal human intervention.
