Robotics
AI-Driven Marine Innovation
Founded by University of Hong Kong graduates Sidhant Gupta and Utkarsh Goel, Clearbot (Clear Robotics) develops AI-powered autonomous electric boats that revolutionize marine cleanup and waterway management. Our zero-emission, self-driving boats use advanced visual AI technology to identify, collect, and remove floating debris from oceans, rivers, and coastal waters. Beyond trash collection, Clearbot Neo generates comprehensive data for every item collected – location, size, type, material, and weight – while monitoring water quality. Our multifunctional vessels handle diverse marine tasks including oil spill response, invasive weed removal, bathymetric surveys, and cargo delivery. We empower local governments, tourism associations, harbors, and municipalities with cost-effective alternatives to traditional manual cleanup methods.
