2025 STEAM EXPO

PROJECT SUMMARY

I wanted to make a robot that sucked trash in a more efficient and better way in the ocean. I also wanted to make it use less energy so it's cheaper and better.

WHY?

I wanted to do this project because I'm aware of how bad pollution is for the world and I also realized that not a lot of people are trying to fix that. I think that a robot controlled by someone is the best option.

HOW?

I wanted to make a 3D model of how the robot would look like and how exactly it would work. I started building and after a few days of research I found out what are a few effective ways of cleaning trash and making it move.

WHAT?

I built a lego version of the machine and put it on water to see if it could float. It did and could pick up things and put it in the compartment. I do think I could do better tho as it sank after a few more seconds.

SO WHAT?

I feel that if someone made it real it could be good as my results showed it could work and functioned. My results show that a possible robot with a vacuum cleaner could clean up trash and function.

WHAT'S NEXT?

I think next time I would change what I used for the base of the robot. Also, I feel that it would be kind of hard to control it.

REFERENCES & ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I got the initial idea to make the robot from a youtuber named Mark Rober that is an engineer. Z helped me
