Most People could care less really. because SOMEONE ELSE will probably clean it up so why should they care? if its not effecting them in ANY meaningful way then they don't care.

It didn't pick up the plastic.. if you notice only the big heavy rocks are captured

BeBot should dump what it collects into visible bins to display to beach going people what is happening to their local beaches. This visible look at what people do to their beaches is an eye opening lesson for many.

@God Supports Abortion. Numbers 5:11-31 lmao the dumping it into rivers is false, most pollutants come from 3rd world countries who are forced to put their trash in rivers because they dont have the systems like we do with garbage trucks and what not. Also, you do realize that companies like Waste Management sell the recycling to said other countries? They wouldnt buy the recycling just to dump it.

If you wanna know how I know what you say is false, my uncle is an operations manage at a waste facility for 18 years now, and my aunt is a marketing manager at waste management

Unfortunately it's not just litterbugs that are polluting the beaches. You throw plastic into a recycle bin, and until a few years ago your local waste management would ship that "recycle" plastic over to an asian country, who would promptly dump it into a river and out into the ocean.
Some of that garbage could be something you tried to recycle. The whole system's broken.

i’ve become more and more interested in cleaning beaches/oceans, as i think it would be awesome to see some very nice, clean beaches in the future. let’s hope people are more careful and recycle more and in the future. as i’ve been watching these, i’ve felt as thought the world may become a better place. but now, i cannot predict the future but then again, these robots may be very successful. thanks for all the help, as these beaches are very dirty. THANKS AGAIN!!! 😀😁😆

@MoonShot what do you mean theres a problem with clay its recyclable all it is very small dirt particals.
But depending on how that wood farm is done it might just harm the earth.
How they found out trees start there real co2 storing at 120 to 300 years if cut before that you will lose water and less co2 would have been stored.
What do I mean by water I mean at 120 to 300 years there mostly using the water they stored rather then sucking it up as it grows for now its not going up but getting wider.

It would be optimal to have the companies that create, sell and profit from the plastic be responsible for its collection and reuse.

Wonder what beaches in Florida will have these.
I’m trying to move away from plastics in general. Not just for the cleaner oceans & environment, but from the radio show I listened to last week, it can also impact your hormones & can lead to lower sperm count /infertility over time. Even ‘BPA free’ plastics are just as damaging & these changes can apparently get passed on when you have kids.

It would be awesome to also mobilize human resources such as school groups and environmentally interested groups to spend time cleaning up the garbage in cities, rivers and beaches. This increases awareness and gets people involved and active instead of just worrying and only stressing over it and talking about it. It is incredibly good for morale and mental health! And yes, I have spent a lot of time picking up trash in parks and on the side of the road.

Robin

Robots are doing great things, I like the fact that you don't need to charge these machines. Solar energy is a pure thing.

Debbie Henri

It's a good idea for getting rid of the minor pieces of plastic that are normally missed - yes, that part is very true.
However, beach-goers may well start viewing this device as a moving trash bin and more may throw down their litter as a result, knowing this will eventually collect it - instead of switching off their phone for 2 minutes and walking their trash to a proper litter bin.

It seems to me that more people are finding any excuse possible to 'opt out' when it comes to environmental responsibility, and I fear this machine is simply another 'enabler' (unless they are sent out in the very late hours or very early hours of the day when most beach-goers are not around to see what they do).

I think there are three pillars of the cleanup process: Crews cleaning the worst trash heaps manually, the robots handling the microplastic, and everyone else trying to reduce their waste.

Fort Lauderdale beach, Florida needs the bebot and the hotels/city needs to educate people/tourists. What a great company!

This may need a cutting edge alarming technology for warning people who do harmful conducts around beaches. Could be one of the most effective ways to secure the safety of visitors, maintaining minimum personnel costs.

Looks great at picking up small pieces of trash but might have a serious problem with larger items

David Elias

Interesting solution. This could be used to clean sargassum which is a huge problem in the Carribbean beaches. However, the current method of a tractor pulling a raking system tends to crush the sargasm before the rake can collect it all. So it would be better for the raking system to be pushed instead of pulled, thereby picking up the sargasm before crushing it. If this system had a push method instead of a pull system you would find a lot of customers for this for sure!

worm wood

How does the weight of this thing affect sea turtle nests? Also the depth...turtle nests are not that deep. I like the idea but such things are often quite complicated when you examine all factors. In Florida the nests are higher up the beach. Perhaps they avoid that area, but it too has trash. Also how does it handle A big mass of fishing line, A very serious issue. We need stricter laws imo.

Grt concept another helpful piece of technology our environment will love this upkeep

Ata Glance

This tech should be readily available to the public, like how bicycles and electronic scooters are, this is about our future, environmental ministers of all countries should have these readily accessible and available, without the hefty price tag, as well as technicians who daily fix and maintain the bebots, as well as set up pick up spots for the waste products by waste management agencies, this will open up jobs for people who care about the environment and don't make the requirements to operate the bebot or get the job to operate the bebot like a university type deal, let the average person be unrestricted to help our planet out, fix the earth we have here, because no matter where you go, if you can't care for the planet now, you honestly think people will be any different in space, use all that money to tackle real world problems on the planet you already have.

B Brown

Excellent technology. Of course the offenders are varying but smokers are often the worst contributors at beaches using the sand as their ashtrays. As for the oceans, nothing will have a significant impact until all those countries and cities stop using rivers and oceans for trash disposal. The banning of plasitc drinking straws, especially in landlocked cities believing it would save the oceans, was so short sighted and idiotic.

Unmannedair

I can quite easily see that machine damaging the environment just as much as the plastic it picks up. How many small creatures or small creatures food is it also going to pick up? That and the decision not to make it autonomous was a mistake. I mean having it pilotable for use around people is great, but it's real effectiveness is going to be when people are not around. You need these things running all night long on the beaches when nobody's there. In the end though let's not kid ourselves. This is to a beach what a lawn mower is to a lawn.

This is great and very much needed, but the real way to fix this issue is to train and teach the next generatin to Clean up after themselves and their environment, clearly this starts at Home, but if that isnt the case Schools really need to push and educate kids why its important to keep our planet clean and safe, and to learn how to dispose of trash correctly and ethically.

bpenaval2

It is absolutely necessary to clean up our beaches. But this is a solution to the symptom and not the problem. I still think that the main emphasize should be on reducing the amount of plastic that is produced and consumed. In other words, the consumer is not the issue, it is the companies producing the plastic. Soda bottles, milk jugs, packaging etc. We need innovation in these areas. How do we allow people to enjoy a soda without the need for producing tons of plastic bottles? It still is a nice invention in cleaning up our beaches.

what really needs to change is what governments do about the trash their citizens produce. 1. it needs to be collected (as sorted as possible, but collecting it at all is important), 2. it needs to be either recycled or burned, NO exports to unreliable countries and NO landfills (the percentage of german waste going to landfills is zero already), 3. we need to use more recycled plastic and less packaging material (no matter which kind since it makes no sense to use fe glass instead of plastic (glass is worse for climate than plastic)) overall. the two first pikts are way more important for the problem of ocean plastic though.

The tractor on the beach towing a trailer cleaning up debris does not harm the sand. Anyone who has spent time at the beach has come out in the morning after a storm the night before and found a 3 foot drop in the beach. This 3 foot drop disappears by the next day. I am all for cleaning up the beach I would contribute to it providing the government was not involved. I think you have an agenda and then agenda would be don’t use a machine that uses fossil fuel. Give me a break not everyone is stupid. I’d rather see them burn a few gallons of diesel fuel if they get a couple tons of debris off the beach. The technology to sift the sand has been around for a few decades at least, the technology for a remote control EV machine to drag the sand sifter behind is older technology as well.

Not a robot. It's a remote control beach cleaner. Just as a remote control car isn't a bot, neither is this. If you have to stand and use the controller within range, they should have put a seat on it so the user doesn't have to walk around. I think they didn't get the AI working, so they added the remote.

When it's more viable to invent complex AI robots than it is for humans to not drop their trash everywhere.
