A Roomba for Rivers

Cars That Think

Humankind is enamored with water. The machine, which can run autonomously or at the direction of a remote operator, goes around collecting the junk and gunk (like plastic bottles, oil spills, and algae) that float on the water, as well as detritus located up to 10 meters below the surface. Roomba for Rivers. A team of researchers at.
