SMURF: A Fully Autonomous Water Surface Cleaning Robot with A Novel Coverage Path Planning Method
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022 In recent years, more attention has been paid to water surface environment protection. Current water surface waste cleaning mainly relies on manual operations, which are low-efficiency and dangerous. Therefore, in this paper, we design a fully autonomous

Effects of Water Cup Cleaning on Drinking Behaviour, Water Intake, and Milk Yield of Lactating Dairy Cows in Tie-Stall Barns [PDF]
AnimalsWater cups in tie-stall barns often remain uncleaned for long periods, allowing organic matter and biofilms to accumulate, which may reduce drinking efficiency, defined as water intake per drinking event rather than drinking frequency, and increase ...

Chemical hazard of robotic hull in-water cleaning discharge on coastal embryonic fish
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023 In-water cleaning (IWC) involves the removal of biofilms and foulants from the hull of a ship using brush or water jet. During IWC, several factors associated with the harmful chemical contaminants release to the marine environment, which can create ...
