A student at the University of Surrey in the UK has designed a robot fish that swims through water and collects microplastics, helping clean polluted rivers and oceans. The robot is lightweight, fast, and can operate autonomously in real-world environments. Named “Gillbert,” the robot fish uses a fine mesh in its mouth to trap tiny plastic particles while mimicking the swimming style of real fish. Its goal is not just cleanup—but to serve as a model for bio-inspired environmental robots. This small invention may have a huge impact, showing how youth and innovation can take on climate challenges creatively. #RobotFish #MicroplasticCleanup #YouthInnovation #BioRobotics #CleanWaterTech #michanicalmind
