What is the problem you found?

Tourists attractions have too much rubbish on the ground.

What is your opportunity?

How might we sustainably and easily remove rubbish from tourist attractions?

Who is your audience?

People who run tourist attractions who need to deal with rubbish.

What Is Your Solution?

My solution is a robot that has a vacuum cleaner which sucks up trash on the ground, which then goes into a energy converter which converts the trash into power- which it then uses to keep running. It would also have an emergency power reserve in case it didn't get enough trash to keep running.
