This is pretty neat, the video popped up in my Facebook feed the other day and had to post it on the forum. Of course this is an above water drone for garbage cleanup, I wonder if there could one day be an underwater drone that cleans up garbage. If we had thousands of these drones autonomously cleaning up our waterways I'm sure it would one day make one hell of a difference.

Head over to Ran Marine and you can get more information on this neat little drone. It supposedly has 10 hour run time, range of 5 kilometers, and can cleanup 500 kilograms of garbage debris in one single day.

There's a video of the WasteShark drone actually removing invasive aquaitic plants, duckweed, pretty neet!
