The Bottle Bot Project
Our Bottle Bot is an innovative solution to combat plastic pollution in our oceans. This robot is designed to collect plastic bottles from beaches and shallow waters, helping to clean our marine environments.
Features of Bottle Bot:
- Solar-powered for sustainable operation
- Advanced sensors to identify and collect plastic bottles
- Compact design for easy deployment and retrieval
- Data collection capabilities to track cleanup progress
How It Works
- Bottle Bot scans the area using its sensors
- When a plastic bottle is detected, it moves towards it
- The robot's arms gently pick up the bottle
- Collected bottles are stored in an internal compartment
- Once full, Bottle Bot returns to its starting point for unloading
Impact
In our test runs, Bottle Bot has successfully collected over 500 plastic bottles from local beaches. We're working on scaling up the project to make an even bigger impact on our ocean's health.
Future Plans
We're continuously improving Bottle Bot and exploring partnerships with local environmental organizations to deploy our robots on a larger scale.
