Autonomous Cleaning Robots
By Nexus Verium Research Team•1 min read
Low-impact robots that remove debris around restoration zones with vision, safety controls, and coordination across River Veins sites.
Capabilities include
- Vision models that classify debris vs. wildlife before intake
- Shallow-draft hulls with guarded intakes and low-noise propulsion
- Modular collection bins, docking, and safe charging stations
- Geofenced routes coordinated with drones and sensor alerts
- Remote override, kill-switch, and manual tow mode for safety
Our approach
- Map debris hotspots using monitoring data and community reports.
- Prototype hulls and propulsion with safety and noise constraints.
- Train and test detection models on field recordings and edge hardware.
- Pilot in controlled zones near wetlands with geofences and observers.
- Integrate telemetry into the digital twin; refine routes, speeds, and schedules.
FAQs
What debris will robots target?
Floating trash, plastics, and surface pollution around restoration and wetland zones.
How do they avoid harming wildlife?
Exclusion zones, vision filters for wildlife, low-noise propulsion, and remote override keep distance from sensitive areas.
