The project has made it possible for BrainBotics to create and train a Machine Learning algorithm that can reliably and automatically detect eelgrass floating in water, and is in itself a huge step towards the goal of collecting eelgrass in… Read More »Our most recent project funded by FFBI has been a great success!
The newly started project funded by FFBI has already led to the succesful use of drones to perform an initial survey of floating eelgrass at both Vordingborg Sydhavn and at Farø. The result from Vordingborg Sydhavn can be seen here… Read More »Succesful surveying of “seaweed-islands” using orthomosaic maps
BrainBotics has joined forces with the University of Southern Denmark’s Biology department and Dronecenter and the companies Møn Tang and Coastgrass to ensure the utilisation of so-called beach wrack (primarily eelgrass) as a sustainable bio-resource in the future. The new project is funded… Read More »BrainBotics leads new project funded by FFBI
Søren Pallisgaard from BrainBotics visited a branch of Mexico’s largest university (UNAM) to discuss ongoing research on specifically Sargassum, the floating macro-algae that is invading the coasts of many Caribbean countries. Mexico is a frontrunner in the Caribbean region when… Read More »Visit to Mexican university gives new insights into the fight against macro-algae
BrainBotics went to Møn (an island located just off the south-eastern tip of Zealand) to partner up with other stakeholders working on collection with eelgrass including Møn Tang, Søuld and Coastgrass. Today, Møn Tang is the only company in Denmark… Read More »Daytrip to Møn
Based on drone photos from Skive Fjord, we have build up our first machine learning model which can detect sea lettuce bloom. The distinctive color of algae has been used to develop computer vision-based algae monitoring systems. However, traditional computer… Read More »Automated Algae Detection using Machine Learning
As a part of MUDP funded project, we have tested the robot Jellyfishbot in several sites including Karrebæksminde, Køge Marina and Marselisborg Marina in Denmark. The tests show that the robot performs efficient collection of macroalgae. It is primarily eelgrass… Read More »Tests of robot collection completed
The 22nd of September the trip went to Karrebæksminde to validate the Jellyfish robot and do measurements of CO2 in the habour. Karrebæksminde is an idyllic spot that attracts thousands of tourists in the summertime. It is an old fishing… Read More »Yet another CO2 measurement and test of the JellyFish robot
You can reduce the amount of emitted greenhouse gases by removing seaweed that decomposes on the beach, as rotten seaweed emits methane and CO2. The quantity and type of algae varies for each location and can be significantly different from… Read More »BrainBotics are collaborating with SDU on CO2 measurements of algae
BrainBotics has got their hands on a Jellyfishbot which is a small robot designed to collect floating waste and oil spills. This bot is an efficient and flexible solution to water decontamination of more or less widespread and sheltered areas:… Read More »Jellyfishbot now in operation in Denmark
