On-Device AI Marine Cleaning Robot
274 2024. 8. 26.
Summary
This autonomous floating robot is designed to detect and collect marine waste while responding to coastal disasters in real time, without relying on external communication networks. Equipped with on-device AI, it processes data locally through embedded semiconductors, four vision cameras, and a LiDAR sensor, enabling smart recognition, decision-making, and navigation.
Its body is made of lightweight, impact-resistant polysilene and powered by two propulsion motors, a drum motor, and a transfer pump for efficient waste collection. The robot navigates independently, avoiding obstacles and adapting to changing marine conditions such as waves and currents.
Advantages and Innovations
This autonomous surface drone is equipped with a Korean-developed Warboy NPU, AI vision cameras, LiDAR, and a modular docking station, designed specifically for challenging coastal and marine environments. It collects floating debris and oil spills while streaming real-time video via 5G connectivity.
The system’s proprietary on-device AI and advanced sensor fusion allow for low-latency, autonomous decision-making without reliance on cloud infrastructure. This enhances both operational stability and cybersecurity, even in low-connectivity or emergency situations.
Built with an IP-rated, impact-resistant chassis, the drone is modular and scalable, supporting multi-unit deployment for public safety, marine surveillance, and environmental remediation. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in high-wave or harsh weather conditions.
Key benefits include reduced operational costs, faster emergency response, and measurable ESG improvements. With its export-ready architecture and intelligent capabilities, this next-generation marine robot offers a practical, high-impact solution for smart cities, coastal regions, and global environmental management.
Key Features:
- On-device AI for recognition, decision-making, and control, no external network required
- Real-time detection and response to marine pollution and coastal disasters
- Autonomous navigation with obstacle avoidance in dynamic marine environments
- Modular and portable design suitable for deployment in remote or low-connectivity regions
Stage of Development
Description
These autonomous marine robots are designed for efficient recovery of floating pollutants across a wide range of aquatic environments, including rivers, streams, reservoirs, ports, and open oceans. They are capable of collecting various forms of waste, such as high-viscosity low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO), low-viscosity heavy fuel oil (HFO), diesel, and surface microplastics ranging from 0.001 to 5 mm in size.
Ideal for both routine environmental monitoring and emergency response, the system can be deployed by municipalities, harbor authorities, environmental agencies, disaster response teams, and industrial operators. Its versatility and real-time AI-based operation make it suitable for use in coastal clean-up campaigns, oil spill containment, ESG initiatives, and smart city sustainability programs, especially in areas with limited infrastructure or unstable communications.
This technology offers a breakthrough solution for marine pollution control by combining on-device AI, real-time sensing, and autonomous operation in a compact, network-independent platform. Unlike traditional systems that depend on external servers or manual oversight, our robot processes visual and environmental data locally, enabling immediate recognition and response to pollutants, including in dynamic conditions with waves, currents, or low visibility.
The system’s ability to operate independently of cloud connectivity ensures reliable performance even in remote or disaster-affected coastal zones. A key differentiator is its multi-unit control feature, which allows a single smart device to manage several robots simultaneously. This significantly enhances operational scalability, reduces labor intensity, and enables efficient coordination during large-scale cleanup missions.
Altogether, it delivers a cost-effective, flexible, and export-ready solution for governments, ports, and environmental agencies committed to ESG goals and resilient marine infrastructure.
