The project has made it possible for BrainBotics to create and train a Machine Learning algorithm that can reliably and automatically detect eelgrass floating in water, and is in itself a huge step towards the goal of collecting eelgrass in water for use as a green and sustainable raw material that can for example substitute plastics and certain building materials. […]
The newly started project funded by FFBI has already led to the succesful use of drones to perform an initial survey of floating eelgrass at both Vordingborg Sydhavn and at Farø. The result from Vordingborg Sydhavn can be seen here – due to it being late in the season the amount of floating eelgrass is very limited, but can be […]
BrainBotics has joined forces with the University of Southern Denmark’s Biology department and Dronecenter and the companies Møn Tang and Coastgrass to ensure the utilisation of so-called beach wrack (primarily eelgrass) as a sustainable bio-resource in the future. The new project is funded by Future Food & Bioresource Innovation. By identifying and collecting beach wrack before it decomposes or mixes with other material, the value of […]
Søren Pallisgaard from BrainBotics visited a branch of Mexico’s largest university (UNAM) to discuss ongoing research on specifically Sargassum, the floating macro-algae that is invading the coasts of many Caribbean countries. Mexico is a frontrunner in the Caribbean region when it comes to handling the large masses of Sargassum, and the goal of the visit was to initiate a dialogue […]
The WasteShark has been tested at Fakse Ladeplads in South Zealand at two locations; inside the port and at the corresponding beach. The temperature was between 10-12 degrees, with wind between from 6-8 m/s from south/southwest. Test at the beach. At Fakse Ladeplads, a lot of algae was found at the beach and in the water around the structures. There […]
A number of test sites have been investigated and evaluated in this project, mainly in the regions of Langeland, South Zealand including Møn, Skive, Odsherred, and Aarhus. These areas historically have had issues dealing with macro algae. For all sites we have been in dialogue with local authorities (the local municipalities) in order to get an understanding of the size […]
Søren Pallisgaard from BrainBotics presented the RAHIP-project at an international seminar about bio-projects in the Baltic Region in Malmö, Sweden. The seminar was arranged by Energikontoret Skåne as a part of the Greater BIO project. The goal of the Greater BIO project is to increase the collection and use of biomass, increase the production of biogas from biomass and promote […]
Smelly piles of rotten seaweed and algae blooms are a growing problem in many parts of the world due to over-fertilization and climate change. New project will use robot technology to harvest and recycle the surplus of seaweed in a sustainable way. In maritime environments with too much nitrogen and phosphorus, the extreme growth and surplus of seaweed and algae […]
