It took the Mumbai Coast Guards several weeks to clear the recent oil spill in the Arabian Sea. But a robot, developed by four city students, can clear it in less than 30 days.
The standard X students of Jamnabai Narsee School at Vile Parle have developed Seaswam, a low-cost solar operated robot that can swiftly clear oil spills in the ocean.
The boys, Soham Sankaran, Rushab Mashru, Yash Savani, and Rishabh Mundra, all around 15 years of age, had built the robots for the Indian Robot Olympiad (IRO) held at Bangalore on September 5.
They won the first prize and will represent India at the World Robot Olympiad (WRO)in November in Philippines.
