A team of young engineers from Bengaluru's SCRUB Robotics is developing SCRUB V2, a new robot designed to collect floating plastic and waste from Bengaluru's lakes. This robot eliminates the need for traditional conveyor belts used in waste collection. The SCRUB V2 robot collects floating waste through a front opening, which then closes when the robot moves backward, preventing the collected waste from escaping.
