Beaches are becoming more littered by trash that is discarded by humans worldwide. Currently, there are methods for cleaning trash from beaches that usually entail large, expensive machines that may not be accessible for all types of beaches. This project aims to develop a multi-robot solution for cleaning beaches in an effective manner. Using the engineering design process, our team gathered information about beaches to design prototypes, test designs, and build a functioning proof of concept, multi-robot solution.
