AI enhanced Oil Recovery and Cleanup Autonomous (ORCA) System Prototype
Oil spills devastate marine ecosystems, and conventional cleanup methods are often dangerous and inefficient. Our project, the Oil Recovery and Cleanup Autonomous (ORCA) system, presents a safer, smarter solution. This fully autonomous prototype integrates AI for oil detection (97% precision), LiDAR-based navigation for obstacle avoidance, and an optimized oleophilic surface for collection. Rigorous testing confirmed high skimming efficiencies up to 75.7% and excellent water rejection of 96%. ORCA demonstrates a viable, next-generation approach to oil spill remediation, capable of operating effectively without risking human lives, protecting both our oceans and the people who work to save them.
