New project funded by the Danish Ministry of Environment

BrainBotics has just been granted a project by EcoInnovation under the Ministry of the Environment. In this project, we will investigate the commercial value and environmental impact of collecting excess algae (aquatic biomass) with robot technology before the biomass begins to decompose. Collecting seaweed in the water, before it starts to decompose, will avoid emissions of GHG (CH4) which have […]

Simulating robotic biomass collection

Sometimes it is not possible to the real-world evaluation of robotics solutions. This can be due to time, economy or in our case – the weather. In order to mitigate this, a virtual environment representing a test site was programmed in Unity which is a cross-platform game engine developed by Unity Technologies. Simulation is becoming an increasingly important part of […]

First test at Fakse Ladeplads

The WasteShark has been tested at Fakse Ladeplads in South Zealand at two locations; inside the port and at the corresponding beach. The temperature was between 10-12 degrees, with wind between from 6-8 m/s from south/southwest. Test at the beach. At Fakse Ladeplads, a lot of algae was found at the beach and in the water around the structures. There […]

Evaluation of test sites

Beach wrack at Fakse Ladeplads

A number of test sites have been investigated and evaluated in this project, mainly in the regions of Langeland, South Zealand including Møn, Skive, Odsherred, and Aarhus. These areas historically have had issues dealing with macro algae. For all sites we have been in dialogue with local authorities (the local municipalities) in order to get an understanding of the size […]

BrainBotics teaming up with related bio-projects in the Baltics

Søren Pallisgaard from BrainBotics presented the RAHIP-project at an international seminar about bio-projects in the Baltic Region in Malmö, Sweden. The seminar was arranged by Energikontoret Skåne as a part of the Greater BIO project. The goal of the Greater BIO project is to increase the collection and use of biomass, increase the production of biogas from biomass and promote […]

BrainBotics are using robot to harvest seaweed

Smelly piles of rotten seaweed and algae blooms are a growing problem in many parts of the world due to over-fertilization and climate change. New project will use robot technology to harvest and recycle the surplus of seaweed in a sustainable way. In maritime environments with too much nitrogen and phosphorus, the extreme growth and surplus of seaweed and algae […]

Talk at Employment and Integration Administration in Copenhagen Municipality

Employees in the Employment and Integration Administration became more aware of digitisation and robot technology when robot and machine learning expert Søren Tranberg Hansen gave a presentation at Jobcenter Copenhagen. Søren brought the robot Pepper to demonstrate the limitations of the robots: Pepper can find answers to what he’s coded for, but if you ask him a question he’s not […]

Year One Demonstration

Polaris’ can now guide a user to an optional conference room. The guidance is similar to how it would lead a traveller from one place in an airport to another. Polaris can now: Balance while waiting for instructions from a user. Present the user with an interface, from where different POIs (from the MapsIndoors CMS) are found. Pictures, text, and […]
