Razer helped design a trash collecting robot to clean up plastic pollution
Gaming giant Razer has partnered with a small company called Clearbot to help design an autonomous trash-collecting boat that can identify floating garbage in the water, catalog it and then collect it into a waste container. The collaboration is part of Razer’s Go Green with Razer initiative to help startups working on sustainability and green…

It’s mad we have to do this. There are too many people on this planet and too many ignorant people dumping trash.

This about Razer making a boat not razor promoting for other company to creat such boats.. if you gonna build 1 make it atleast 5 so it has some sort of effectiveness

This is a step in the right direction now we need a robot to go underwater and get the rest of the trash that doesn’t float which is around 90 percent of it maybe more

Why cant companies sell things like this to the public? Might encourage other people to keep the ocean clean

They need an autonomous trash-collecting boat maker that uses the recycled trash. Name it Waternet.

I would look into a way to cool the earth down with tech. I say that by means of re-freezing the pole to restore the lost glacier mass. As well as dealing with the rising ocean waters.

Finally a company that actually does something unlike apple and Samsung who removed the damn charger, which you then have to order separately meaning even more plastic and more pollution as it has to be separately delivered and seperately packaged.

Ive been seeing so much about global warming lately- the fires, floods, power outages, crabs eating plastic bc of a chemical in it, sea snakes showing up in new Zealand and false killer whales in unusual places in the summer bc of warmer waters, etc. Is this just me or does it seem like more? Nice to see one good thing atleast…

No solar panels eh? Then it becomes important what the carbon footprint is for the electricity that is used, compared to the trash that it collects.
It wouldn’t surprise me if these fancy bots use a crapload of energy, compared to the solar powered low tech ones where they stole the idea from.
CNET
August 14, 2021 at 10:52 pm
They charge at solar powered charging docs which I didn’t have any footage of unfortunately. Battery powered but solar charged.

@CNET That sounds perfect. Kudos to those guys. In that case you can make a cleaning bot as energy heavy as you want.
Thanks for the info!

They’ve got quite a ways to go before I stop hating Razer, but it looks like they’re headed in the right direction. Using optical switches in their products would help a lot too. As it is, their products are NOT made to last.

Another thing. If the circulation of the ocean is slowing down which would cause another problem I would look into ways as to help circulate the water flow back to the way that it was before it started slowing down.

At least they won’t be looking for rubbish. I imagine they will need emptying quite a lot but good concept. Maybe a master docking boat that they can auto drop there rubbish into

Omg-This is so amazing & awesome! It’s about time that these amazing people have invented something that will benefit us all w/our green environment! I love it & why didn’t I think of something like this! Can someone put some of these trash robots in the Ocean where all the garbage is floating all around?? Thanks for sharing! 🙏😊💖🌹💐

yes it is heartwarming in some way. but we already know where this waste came from.. from consumers and companies who doesn’t care about environment. we also need to make them care about
Lexie
August 16, 2021 at 7:48 am
We don’t need to make the companies care. We need to get the policy makers to care. And have the write up new rules that prevent companies from creating products that will create waste in the first place.
Companies will only ever care about profits. And we’d be a fool to think that we could change that.

The problem with all this is solution is that they are trying to cure the disease and not working to avoid it from happening in the first place. The focus should be to stop these at the sources.

Note to the video editor, replaying that clip in reverse just makes it look like your bot is dumping trash in the sea. lol.

Until you stop the plastic companies from producing and the people from littering and the recycling companies from dumping this is pointless.

I have a question, what would it cost to DNA sample every single bottle that is found? I have a strong suspicion that the vast majority of the waste is a select few people comparative to total population. Why not test their DNA from the collected pollution? Crowdsource it, I would contribute to the project.

Utter garbage. Every city already has cleanup programs that identify the type and volume of trash in rivers and waterfronts, so this claim of providing valuable data doesn’t make sense. These little machines are barely toys; their best use is either raising money from green-minded suckers, or greenwashing the instagram feeds of companies that can’t think of ways to reduce their own environmental impact.

I can’t tell if Razer is being genuine or just looking for more clout with the population. Like when the US Army started a gaming Chanel to increase recruitment numbers.

So what is the carbon footprint of producing the 10 million of these units necessary for the job of cleaning up the oceans? Why is the “green ” solution always to produce more junk. This thing is a corporate joke and if anyone thinks it’s a solution to anything is deeply misguided. It’s just another corporate “green” con.

It’s nice to see that all the Chinese bots and trolls love this device. I’ll take three of them because I am a complete idiot who actually believes that disposable toy boats can somehow solve the problem of global oceanic pollution.
