:robot: SeaSwarm :robot:
By autonomously navigating the water's surface, Seaswarm proposes a new system for ocean-skimming and oil removal. Seaswarm uses a photovoltaic powered conveyor belt made of a thin nanowire mesh to propel itself and collect oil. The nanomaterial, patented at MIT, can absorb up to 20 times its weight in oil. The flexible conveyor belt softly rolls over the ocean's surface, absorbing oil while deflecting water because of its hydrophobic properties.

Introducing, "SeaSwarm" - a robot that functions to clean oil in the ocean.
This robot is solar powered, and is connected to wifi control, so users can make it in groups, or clean up an area individually.
Nano material used can absorb oil 20 times heavier than himself. So, this is more effective, efficient, and also efficient.
