On the morning of December 19, near the Deyang Deyang, a giant "goldfish" is slowly swimming to swim, the nearby aquatic waste is constantly eaten by it. Originally, this is a "Deyang-made" water intelligent cleaning robot. That morning, experts from the National Ministry of Water resources were identifying it.

According to the introduction, this clean-up robot is the Sichuan Dongfang Water Conservancy Company Research and Development of the aquatic intelligent cleaning robot The first generation of products, it has two front like a broom of the "polymer manipulator", the first to gather garbage, and then through the net chain to the garbage into the cabin. Collect 500 kilograms of rubbish at a time, and the garbage collection will be automatically returned to shore after full container.

According to the introduction, this machine body size is 5.8 meters x3.6 meters x4.9 meters. Floating on the water part has a camera, like the robot's "eyes", the whole machine depends on it to trace the floating objects, and then through the system of thousands of pictures of the image data to identify, and then to track salvage.

"The reason is intelligent robot, it is necessary to have automatic recognition of the function, or the river swimming in the people, piers are to be used as a floating thing to be salvaged." Wei, chairman of the supervisory board of Sichuan Oriental Water Conservancy, joked that the robot should also improve its function through continuous learning.

The appearance of this clean-up robot is also a particular one. Because the product is mainly used in Urban river, Park playground and other water floating on the salvage, so its appearance is bionic design, behind similar goldfish tail, front garbage entrance like goldfish mouth, this design is mainly to meet the needs of urban landscape, its kinetic energy mainly from the battery power, At the same time combined with solar panels and wind power generation of two kinds of energy.

It is understood that this robot was successfully developed in June this year, and has been successfully applied in Fujiang River in Shehong County district of Sichuan Province. At the same time the successful development of a clean-up robot suitable for hydropower stations, has been successfully applied in the east-West hydropower station. It has the floating garbage salvage, segmented cutting, extrusion, packaging into blocks, automatic palletizing and operation of the flotation salvage treatment process.

"Products in general to reach the domestic leading level, with the production conditions. "On the morning of 19th, the Appraisal Committee gave the final conclusion to two intelligent cleaning robots.

"The use of robots to gradually replace artificial cleaning operations is undoubtedly the direction of future development." "The head of Sichuan Oriental Water Conservancy said that since 2014 began the development of intelligent cleaning robot, in product intelligence and the Southwest University of Science and Technology, Deyang Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Center for Joint Research and development. In the future, the company will mainly provide clean-up robot service, there is no plan to sell robots in mass production.
