What is the problem you found?
People are not disposing of rubbish properly resulting in messy streets and wider environmental issues for our communities.
What is your opportunity?
How might we create reduce the amount of rubbish in our streets?
Who is your audience?
Public, local councils and governments.
What Is Your Solution?
Our solution is a robot that goes around streets and neighbourhoods vacuuming up rubbish that people haven't put into the bin. It is powered by solar energy and can sense rubbish using a camera in its eye. The robot also talks to passersby and educated them about the importance of properly disposing of their rubbish to create more sustainable communities.
