Row-Bots Ted Talk
The welcome task this morning in NEW was a Ted Talk by Jonathan Rossiter and his solution to a huge environmental problem. He invented a robot that eats pollution, he calls it a Row-Bot because it was inspired by the water boatman which is an insect that lives in the water that feeds on algae. This robot is a perfect example of what NEW students should be designing for their environmental unit project that is coming up.
The main issue that this Row-Bot is targeting is pollution, he mentioned the Algal Bloom off Cornwall in the UK and the Deep water oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Rossiter mentioned that every robot has at least these three components, a body, a stomach and a brain.
