Will a 'Plastivorous' Fish be Created to Help Clean Ocean?
We are a student group studying at the university of bristol and majoring in bio-robotics. Since ocean micro-plastic pollution become a world-class problem, we plan to design and fabricate a 'plastivorous' robotic fish to help. We look forward to your voice and suggestions for common progress, so please feel free to contact us through our blog website . World-class problem & What can we do Plastics are endurable and over-produced. That means plastics are hard to be decomposed to natural elements, but simply divided into smaller and smaller parts, and finally, be a part of the environment as toxic monsters. Those small parts are so-called microplastics (diameter < 5 mm), that are almost everywhere. They have entered the food chain, shown up in animals' nests and become destitute children's toys, so that aroused attention from all walks of life. Current solutions for this world-class problem can be roughly classified as sampling, detecting, recycling, degrading an...
