The lives and health of those who depend on marine and coastal habitats are negatively impacted by oil spills, which also severely disrupt these ecosystems. On January 28, 2017, a significant oil leak had considerable effect on Chennai, an Indian coastal metropolis home to nearly 7 million people. Plenty of money is required to get clean from the destructive damages. Skimming is a popular and efficient way to remove oil from water surfaces fast, especially in emergency situations such as oil spills. These devices are made to draw in and gather floating oil while yet permitting water to flow through. Due to density difference, skimming is very reliable. In addition to lowering the risk to human life, it also lowers the cost of physical labor. Our device cleans wastes found, such as plastic wastes, wreaths, bottles, and other wastes found coasting on water. The instruments used for our plan are such that they collect the waste that glides on water bodies and that the collected waste can be efficiently arranged into the container. Plastics have the ability to disintegrate into smaller pieces, releasing potentially hazardous substances. In the study both serious problems were solved with the help of robots which have the capabilities of separating oil and water and collecting in the tank and also garbage collection in the other tank. Motors and electronic circuits have been moved to the platform to be dry and protected from the elements. Robot is controlled automatically by motor driver, Arduino, sun board, joystick(controller), etc. The robot prototype's ability to gather rubbish and return to the waypoint was demonstrated during testing.
