Its mission? Eliminate floating waste to prevent its proliferation in the oceans.
Canary Wharf is a busy financial district of the British capital, where single-use plastic, like coffee cups and food packaging, can cause pollution both on land and in the water.
It moves on the surface of the water, silently, without frightening the local fauna. Under its hull, a kind of"jaw" is able to detect waste and swallow it up. The robot can navigate shallow waters and narrow channels, collecting plastic waste, plastic bags, bottles and other debris floating on the water's surface.In addition to removing trash, the WasteShark is capable of taking water samples and collecting important data about the aquatic environment through sensors and cameras.
