Objective: The purpose of this project is to design and develop an automatic or remote-controlled robotic system for collection of refuses in remote coastal area of conservation importance (e.g. beaches within/ near marine parks) in Hong Kong.

Challenge:
1) Accessibility: The system should be able to collect refuses in remote coastal areas where are difficult to access by human worker due to absent of footpath or proper mooring site nearby.
2) Durability: The system should be able to collect refuses with considerable weight and transport them to nearby refuse collection point or proper area with vehicle access connecting to refuse collection point.
3) Environmentally Friendly: The system should not cause unacceptable disturbance to the natural environment (e.g. damaging vegetation, hurting wild animals, polluting the marine environment).
