Marine drone would tackle the Great Pacific Garbage Patch

The video discusses the vast amounts of plastic waste floating in the North Pacific Ocean, forming a large garbage patch. It introduces marine drones as autonomous vehicles designed to collect this plastic waste. These drones use infrasound to deter fish and coordinate with each other via sonar. Once full, they return to a central location where the collected plastic is loaded onto ships for recycling.
