Chicago-based Urban Rivers needed a way to help keep the Chicago River clean and maintain its local wildlife projects. The conservation group quickly realized that the problem called for an automated solution, and the Trashbot was born.
Funded with a combination of grants and crowdfunding, this robot swims around the Chicago River scooping up trash. If
technology like the Trashbot could be mass-produced, it could help keep waterways clean all over the world.
