SentryBot

An autonomous, co-operative multi-robot system for security and surveillance. Sentry Bots are teams of autonomous mobile security robots which can be seamlessly integrated into existing security systems. These mobile security robots are able to navigate autonomously and are energy-independent, since they are able to recharge their batteries without any user interference. The robot team is self-organizing and will provide an intuitive interface via voice control in the future.

Beach cleaning operations focus on removing the waste we can see, such as plastic water bottles and trash, often using gas-powered tractors that bury microplastics beneath the top layer of sand. In contrast, the Cornell Nexus robot will use renewable solar energy to collect and remove microplastic waste.
