Summary

Researchers developed a beach-cleaning robot that uses 3D LiDAR scanning to detect and collect microplastic particles while automatically avoiding obstacles and the water's edge. The system demonstrates a promising approach for autonomous microplastic cleanup in coastal environments.

Study Type Environmental

In this research, we develop a garbage collecting robot for marine microplastics. This system uses 3D LiDAR to detect microplastics on a beach and collects them by avoiding obstacles and sea automatically. This paper describes the results of detection experiments of microplastics using reflectance information taken by 3D LiDAR.
