Description

Jhong-Wei Jhang and co-authors built a drone system in 2023 to inspect riverbanks for trash before it reaches the sea. Most sea waste starts on land, and banks are a last catch point. Their drone plans its own route with a swarm method tuned by a fuzzy rule set, which shortens the path and saves power. A field-of-force trick steers it around branches and other snags in real time.

Upstream rivers in their study zone wind and run rough, so route care pays off. In tests the system flew bank runs and dodged snags as planned. The team pitches the rig for towns that must watch long banks with few staff.
