AI Cleans Oceans

A new system using AI and smart robots is expected to revolutionise the cleaning of ocean seabeds. The ‘SeaClear’ system has been developed as part of a four-year European research project and has already passed a series of tests. A range of remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) work in conjunction with drone monitors and sea-mapping technology, while AI-based algorithms accurately locate and detect litter and distinguish garbage from marine flora and fauna.
