The Challenge | Trash Cleanup

Oceanic garbage patches are collections of marine debris that come together due to ocean currents; they have devastating effects on ocean ecosystems. Your challenge is to design a mission to help clean up garbage from the ocean!

Robo-LoggerHead

Our challenge is to design and develop a submarine which will collect plastic garbage. We are using data from NASA sites to keep 7.5 billion people alive and healthy,so we are the taking initiatives.

Amphibians

Background:

  • Oceanic garbage patches are collections of marine debris that come together due to ocean currents; they have devastating effects on ocean ecosystems .
  • There are over 5 TRILLION pieces of plastic in the ocean, but only 3.5 trillion fish.The oceans cover 72 percent of theEarth and supply half its oxygen which now is in danger-percent of the Earth and supply half its oxygen which now is in danger.
  • Our mission isconcerned with billions of people and trillions of sea wild lives.

Resources:


  • NASA DATA (Temperature corresponding location)
  • Designed body contains PVC pipe and necessary home tools
  • Actuator for movement functionalities
  • Different sensor for reading data from ocean and detect object to collect trash
  • GPS for indicates location for further activities and position ensuring
  • Using Radio Frequency RF(2.4Ghz) communication between submarine and control and command station
  • Subsequently we use other communication system for backup
  • Submarine also have autonomous system
  • Camera section working as the eye of design bot


Challenge Faced:

Our challenge is to design a model sub-marine (Robo-LoggerHead) to help clean up garbage from the ocean. Using NASA Earth science data we will determine location where our mission could be most positively effective and help figure out which type of debris to attempt to collect, and how to collect it.

The challenge of cleaning up the plastic garbage spreads across millions of square Kilometers and travels in all directions. Covering this area using vessels and nets would take thousands of years and cost billions of dollars to complete. We can send our Robo-LoggerHead to clean our seas.

Let’s try to be safe and sound.
