Sustainability Leadership Recognition in Robotics

The Award of Sustainability Leadership Recognition in Robotics, under the category “Developing a Robot to Support Sustainability” was awarded for the robotic seabed cleaning platform developed by TECNALIA, CNRS- LIRMM and Servizi Tecnici which allows to reach the seabed of lagoons and coastal areas to remove marine litter, including macro plastics. It also identifies marine litter and picks each item selectively so as to minimize the impact on ecosystems.
