4ocean in collaboration with poralu marine created an eco-friendly solution for beach cleanups. BeBot is a mobile beach-cleaning robot that mechanically sifts sand to collect plastic waste and other debris as small as 1 square cm without harming the environment. the 100% electric vehicle can silently clean up to 3.000 sqm of beach per hour depending on the terrain.

the BeBot developed by 4ocean, runs at depth of up to 10cm and collects plastic waste such as cigarette butts, food wrappers, bottle caps, and other fragments that could stay hidden in the sand. the robot is powered by a mix of solar and battery and is remotely controlled by a human operator from a maximum of 300 m distance. its innovative track system and remote control device allow to steer and guide the robot with high precision also on uneven landscapes.BeBot robot collects tiny plastic waste to clean our beaches

 

 

the vehicle is a new clean ocean technology designed to address pollution issues and can both replace and work in combination with prevalent cleanup systems. apart from sifting sand, the robot can also be used to gather algae, lift and carry loads — like beach chairs, or can even be used to level sand fields. the company aims to is to form an economy centered around cleaning beaches and oceans educating humans about the impacts of plastic consumption.BeBot robot collects tiny plastic waste to clean our beaches
