ZATV
Our Water Cleaner Robot is designed to help clean rivers, lakes, and oceans by collecting waste like plastic bottles, wrappers, and other floating rubbish. It uses a Quarky board as its brain, which controls motors that spin and move different parts of the robot.
The robot has rotating arms or paddles that help push trash toward a collection net. Once the waste is gathered, it’s trapped safely in the net until the robot is emptied. It can move around on water using small waterproof motors, and it runs on rechargeable batteries.
This robot is eco-friendly and a smart alternative to manual cleanup, because it can work for long hours, reach tricky spots, and collect lots of waste efficiently—making our waters cleaner and safer for both people and animals!
Ocean Sweeper
فكره الروبوت عباره عن غواصه بنتحكم فيها عن طريق remote control و بتقدر تتعرف على وجود نفايات بلاستيك فى الميه ولا لأ و بتفرق بينها و بين السمك و بتعمل صوت انذار فى حال وجود نفايات .
– الصور ال بتظهر على ال stage بتاع pictoblox بنستخدمها ك داتا مبدئية و الفكره بعد كده حتتطور لوجود كاميرا فى الغواصه . فى الاول عملنا machine learning model و بدأنا نحط صور للنفايات و الصور دى باشكال مختلفه و من زوايا مختلفه و حطيناهم ف class اسمه plastic ، و حطينا مجموعه صور للاسماك فى class اسمه fish بعدين عملنا train لل model و test بصور خارجيه مختلفه تماما و عملنا export لل model عشان نستخدمه فى الكود .و طبعا كل ما زودنا عدد الصور .
– فكره كود ال machine learning اننا بنحلل الصوره الموجوده على ال stage دلوقتى و بعدين لو الصوره تنتمى ل class ال plastic يعمل صوت انذار
– بالنسبه لحركه الغواصه فعندى 3 مواتير بيسمحولى اتحرك فى 6 اتجاهات امام، خلف، يمين، يسار، فوق، و تحت بجانب زرار يوقف الغواصه.
– بالنسبه للكود ف السهم forward محتاجه اتحكم فى 2 motors يتحركو فى نفس الاتجاه و عشان احرك الموتور بحتاج اتحكم فى 2 arduino pins اخلى واحده high و التانيه low و عشان اعكس اتجاهها حخلى الاولى low و التانيه high . عشان اوقف المواتير حخلى ال 2 pins يبقو high.

Project Aswad
Oil Spills are environmental disasters, harming marine life and coastal communities. Traditional cleanups such as chemical dispersants, skimming etc are slow, inefficient and costly. To tackle this we have come up with- Project Aswad! It is an AI powered catamaran that detects, contains and cleans up the oil spill in a faster, smarter and more sustainable manner.
How it works-
Government’s satellite intelligence: Locate oil spills in real time and inform authorities.
Oil Detection: Once the sensors (color sensor, infrared thermal cameras and an ultrasonic sensor) detect the oil, the AI system neural network analyzes the real time data from the sensors.
Conveyor belt + Oleo Sponges: The conveyor belt lined with oleo sponges (absorb oil but repel water) is dispatched into the sea
Hydraulic compressor: oil collected by the oleo sponges is compressed. This oil is put into barrels present onboard. The oleo sponges can be used over 100+ times and absorb up to 90% their own weightThe oil collected can be later refined and used as per normal.
Impact-
Cost efficient- Cuts operating costs by 70%
Innovative- using recent developments in sensors and a machine learning AI system)
Eco friendly- clean up method does not affect ecosystem as no chemicals used
Scalable- catamarans can be deployed depending on size of spill
Developed with a marine scientist (Mr Oliver Farrel) from NYU Abu Dhabi, Project Aswad is a student made innovation to revolutionize how oil spills are cleaned. We aren’t just picking up oil- we are saving ecosystems.

Coral Defenders
Our project focuses on developing an innovative underwater robot fish designed to monitor and protect coral reefs. The robot is equipped with advanced sensors to measure key water parameters, including temperature, pH, and salinity, which are essential for assessing coral reef health. The real-time data collected by the robot is displayed on an LCD screen and stored on an SD card for further analysis. Additionally, the robot is equipped with a proximity sensor, allowing it to navigate safely through coral reefs and avoid obstacles. This design ensures minimal disruption to the marine environment while gathering critical data to help protect and restore coral reefs. The model is made from waterproof, silicone-based materials, providing durability and flexibility while blending in with the natural surroundings. By continuously monitoring the water quality, the robot helps prevent damage to coral ecosystems caused by pollution and climate change, supporting long-term reef conservation efforts.
