Products
Small oil‑skimming autonomous cleanup robot
Unmanned surface robot designed for small-scale oil-spill response using suction-based recovery, internal oil–water separation, electric propulsion and remote/wireless control for operation in constrained areas (between ships, under bridges, drains).
Algae- and pollutant-dispersion robot (spraying platform)
Surface robot platform capable of remote dispersal of treatment agents with up to 50 L onboard capacity, floating hoses for continuous dispersion, and options for water-quality sensors and autonomous operation.
Biobased water-treatment formulation
Plant- and mineral-based treatment agent for algae removal and pollutant mitigation; reported certified safety and efficacy testing by multiple labs and agencies and suitability for upcycling harvested biomass into fertilizer.
Polarization-enhanced pollution-detection imaging
Imaging solution that captures polarization and RGB channels across multiple viewpoints and fuses them to detect oil and surface contaminants robustly under varying lighting and sea conditions.
Ground control and dashboard system (GCS)
Operator dashboard and ground-control software to command vehicles, visualize SLAM maps, monitor telemetry and push data to central servers for operational oversight.
