Harbour Robots
Clean-Up and Surveillance
Our new family of ship bots will take care of autonomous cleaning and surveillance. On the right a first prototype from a university – suitable for our Clean-Up Project@Lake Victoria. This idea about a good shape for a cleaning robot is not new, but ideal for our purposes. We will use the platform in future also for harvesting seaweed (kelp) in Namibia and South Africa.
Cleaning Robots (Sizes S, M, XL )
Our cleaning & surveillance robot for large harbors and big lakes is about 4 – 6 meters, a multihull, and made out of aluminum and steel. It is driven by two powerful electrical engines and lithium batteries and solar cells. This allows the use without interruption. For offshore use, we are developing a version with one bigger center hull and two small hulls for the stability and to work also in rough conditions like big waves.
Together with an American partner, we developed a new prototype.
