The SEACLEAR system consists of many components that need to reliably work together under a multitude of different scenarios. To make sure that the agents will be able to accomplish their goal, we need to test them as thouroughly as possible. A first testing phase is taking place in a computer simulation that can run many different scenarios in a short time, and without the risk of damaging any of the equipment.
That is why we developed a simulator for demonstrating the modes of operation of the SEACLEAR system. In the video above you can see different scenarios from the lifecycle of a clean-up action, from the deployment of the robots (aerial and underwater), to the scanning of the sea floor, and eventually the collection of litter.
