About the Jellyfishbot
- The Jellyfishbot is an electric trash collecting robot that will collect surface-level marine debris in City marinas.
- Nets attached to the back of the Jellyfishbot can collect up to 100 pounds of debris in one mission.
- The Jellyfishbot is controlled via remote control, where the operator can use GPS to create a designated operating area.
- Built-in collision avoidance systems detect obstacles above and under water.
- The robot can chart a map of water depths (bathometry) in an operating area and provide a live camera feed.
- The Jellyfishbot will be a valuable tool for the City of Long Beach to use for education and awareness of the larger marine pollution issues.
