80. Clearbot for Cleaning Waterways: AI for Good

Protecting our oceans is vital, and robotics paired with AI is making a real impact. Advanced robotic systems tackle pollution, clean hard-to-reach areas, and collect important data on water quality. These technologies empower communities to organize effective cleanup efforts with less manpower. By leveraging innovation, we’re moving toward a sustainable future where our oceans are clean and full of life. Hailing from Bangalore, India, our speaker, Sidhant Gupta, is the founder of Clearbot, an AI-powered, self-navigating boat that can automate marine cleanup, oil clearing, foam removal and other critical maritime tasks without any pollution or manpower requirement. The company is backed by Alibaba, Razer, and Microsoft. Sidhant holds a Guinness World record for building the fastest robotic fish, done at the University of Hong Kong in 2020. He has spoken at TEDx and started 2 companies prior to Clearbot. Combining his love for robotics and desire to change the world, Sidhant is determined to pioneer a sustainable future for ocean mobility.
