Razer, a well-known gaming peripheral brand, announced today that they have cooperated with Clearbot, an artificial intelligence robot company, to develop a fully automatic ocean cleaning robot, hoping to reduce the pollution of marine plastic waste to the marine ecology.
Charlie Bolton, Razer’s industrial design director, pointed out that when their chief designer and engineer are creating gaps in game experience-changing products, they love to contribute their expertise for ecological sustainability. As part of the #GoGreenWithRazer project, they Cooperate with Clearbot to bring innovative solutions for clean oceans to the world.
According to the introduction of Clearbot, this unmanned aerial vehicle for collecting marine debris that the two parties cooperated is powered by solar energy, has automatic navigation and visual AI functions, and can continuously optimize its capabilities over time through mechanical learning. Sidhant Gupta, the co-founder of Clearbot, said that Razer’s resources and technical expertise have helped them improve the design of the Clearbot robot, making it more efficient, more marketable and more scalable.
Approximately more than 11 million tons of plastic are poured into the ocean every year, causing ocean cleaning to face technical, cost and efficiency challenges. Razer and Clearbot’s fully automatic ocean cleaning robot can identify different types of marine plastic waste through visual AI, collect information on these pollutants in the ocean, and collect marine plastic waste, sort it on shore, and let the company Be able to carry out follow-up processing.
This robot emphasizes that it can detect marine plastic within two meters in rough seas, and can collect up to 550 pounds of garbage under one cycle of solar energy.
