Beach Swarm - Phase III
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerThe issue of beach pollution is continuously growing and negatively affects both human and marine health. While there are currently several methods of beach clean-ups, many are done by hand and often overlook small litter such as cigarette butts. The goal of this project is to design and build an autonomous robot that can clear beaches of harmful litter. To achieve this, the team redesigned the previous robot to be more inclusive of smaller, more common forms of beach litter. This robot expands on current robotic beach-cleaning efforts and provides a scalable solution for future implementations of a multi-robot, swarm-like approach.
