With the environment and technology two key themes of the World Marinas Conference (WMC) held in Dubai in October, it was an apt platform for the manufacturer of the 'Jellyfishbot' claimed as an innovative and eco-friendly robotic solution for the collection of waste and oil in marinas and harbors.
Jellyfishbot, the marine waste collection robot
Jellyfishbot is a small marine drone whose mission is to collect floating waste and oil-spills from the water's surface. Commissioned in June 2018 in Cassis in the south of France, it has since been adopted in several countries around the world.
Its small size (700 x700 x 500 mm) allows it to weave its way everywhere and to easily reach waste carried by the wind and currents into nooks and crannies and saturated zones. To do this, the mini-catamaran made of aluminium and rotomolded plastic floats is fitted with a net at the stern capable of collecting 80 liters of floating waste and 30 liters of hydrocarbons during each sortie. To collect the hydrocarbons, simply insert hydrophobic polypropylene sheets or "chips" into the net. Lightweight, silent, easily transportable, the small drone is remotely controlled with a joystick and is battery-run.
