Rivers worldwide are increasingly compromised by accumulated waste—plastic, metal, and other debris—that threatens aquatic ecosystems and public health. Conventional cleanup methods are often labor-intensive, inefficient, and unable to access submerged or hard-to-reach contaminants, resulting in persistent environmental degradation.
Innovation project
Challenge:
This project proposes the concept of a mini-submarine designed to navigate polluted waterways. While the specific mechanisms for debris removal remain confidential, the concept focuses on addressing the challenges posed by both floating and submerged waste, aiming to explore innovative approaches for river cleanup.
