Designed and built an autonomous surface robot that collects floating trash, meant to work in swarms.

A macro surface-level aquatic cleaning robot that autonomously navigates a body of water and collects floating debris; a swarm of them could take on aquatic pollution. It began as a technological design course project and became a personal one.
