What started as two classmates seeking a free graduation trip to Bali subsidized by a university project ended up as an AI-driven sea-cleaning boat prototype built of empty water bottles, hobbyist helicopter blades and a GoPro camera. University of Hong Kong grads Sidhant Gupta and Utkarsh Goel have since then made a splash with their Clearbot autonomous trash collection boats enabled by NVIDIA Jetson. “We came up with the idea to clean the water there because there are a lot of dirty beaches, and the local community depends on them to be clean for their tourism business,” said Gupta, who…
