Description
The innovative Robotic Seabed Cleaning Platform is employed to remove marine litter, including macro-plastics, from the seabed of lagoons and coastal areas. The platform is designed to operate up to 20 meters deep without damaging aquatic ecosystems. It can work autonomously or be remotely guided by an operator. The platform selectively picks up each item of marine litter to minimise the impact on ecosystems while effectively cleaning the seabed.
