        abstract = {This eco-friendly boat is seriously cool; it makes getting around rivers better for the planet and cleans up trash from the water at the same time. This boat is amazing with solar power and battery. At the very front, there's a conveyor belt that just scoops up all the junk from the water, whether it's plastic bottles, leaves, or anything else floating around. The conveyor system moves the trash it gathers into a bin on the vehicle for a time. The ESP32 microcontroller is basically the main brain. It spins the motors, keeps the conveyor belt moving, and communicates with the Blynk IoT platform. With the Blynk app, you can easily keep an eye on important things like your boat's battery, how full the trash bin is, and if the motor is good to go, right from your phone. Alright, so there's an ultrasonic sensor, and it's placed just over the trash can. It just checks how full the bin is. Once it's full, a notification pops up on their IoT dashboard, letting them know it's time to empty the trash. This system does double duty: it stops water pollution and gets clean water moving. This thing cleans rivers and gives people an eco-friendly way to move around.},
