The marine environment struggles every day with the tough challenges it fights against against man-made pollutants that risks marine speices,so we want to make a bio-kraken shaped AUV

Oceans are the largest heat sink on the planet. They absorb 90% of the excess heat caused by climate change. Oceans are also a very efficient carbon sink, absorbing 23% of human-caused CO2 emissions.The oceans also regulate the global climate; they mediate temperature and drive the weather, determining rainfall, droughts, and floods. They are also the world's largest store of carbon, where an estimated 83% of the global carbon cycle is circulated through marine waters.Plastic pollution is a widespread problem affecting the marine environment. It threatens ocean health, the health of marine species, food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.Plastics pollution has a direct and deadly effect on wildlife. Thousands of seabirds and sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed each year after ingesting plastic or getting entangled in it.Also,the air we breathe: The ocean produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Climate regulation: Covering 70 percent of the Earth's surface, the ocean transports heat from the equator to the poles, regulating our climate and weather patterns.Every minute, the equivalent of one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the ocean. This marine litter and plastic pollution endangers aquatic life, threatens human health and results in myriad hidden costs for the economy.If we continue to use it at the current rate, ocean plastic will outweigh all the fish in the sea by 2050. Sea birds, turtles, seals, and other marine life are all affected by plastic. They often experience starvation as their stomachs fill with litter or they become restricted by plastic.Industrial waste, agricultural runoff, pesticides, and human sewage can all spur a HAB event. People are exposed to HAB toxins from eating contaminated fish and shellfish. These toxins can cause dementia, amnesia, other neurological damage, and death.Once the plastic is in the ocean, it decomposes very slowly, breaking into tiny pieces known as microplastics, which can enter the marine food chain and become incredibly damaging to sea life. The main source of ocean plastic pollution is land-based—80% of plastic in the ocean originates on land.

Because plastic is such a persistent material, the ecological, economic and eco-toxicological effects of plastic pollution are all long-term. These include:

• Physical impact on marine life: entanglement, ingestion, starvation
• Chemical impact: the buildup of persistent organic pollutants like PCBs and DDT
• Transport of invasive species and pollutants from polluted rivers to remote areas in the ocean
• Economic impact: damage to fisheries, shipping, and tourism

In recent years, the amount of attention focused on very small plastic particles has increased dramatically, but little is yet known about their long-term effects on the environment. The microplastics The Ocean Cleanup is focused on preventing is the so-called secondary microplastics, i.e. plastic fragments resulting from the breakdown of larger plastic debris at land and sea.

The marine environment struggles every day with the tough challenges it fights against against man-made pollutants like microplastics,polythene,plastics that risks marine speices.So we want to make a bio-kraken shaped AUV which will hunt marine debris,floats and dives into the sea and ocean to sense the different types and sizes of plastic and determine where they are; collect and also determine their measurements in a quantitative way and send them coordinates to satellites, and from satellites to our vehicles to know all the details in order.

Our project is about lessening ocean pollution. We are proposing an AUV model to solve this problem. This model can float,dive into on the water and at the same time, ıt can collect the floating trash in a chamber. There is also a system for leaving the extra water out.

Using IR,cv,open CV,object detection,image processing and others it can objectify microplastic,plastics . Vacuum method can be used to to collect;filter trash from surface water,bottom of surface,seabed . It contains arms to pick trash from bottom surface.There can be used ballon method to lift up from bottom surface ( as it will cost less energy) . Using solar enegry surface movement will be done . This bot will be fully autonomous but still it can be controlled by human,can be tracked from satellite

The AUV uses PyTorch, Yolo5 detection model to detect the marine plastics. We have trained the model along with the existing Yolo5 weights to extend the accuracy of the plastics which includes Polythenes and Bottles. We have used datasets from various open source projects and various Marine Debris Sites. Please visit the project link to see the Image Processing performance of the System :

Marine plastic pollution breaks down into microplastics and contributes to climate change both through direct GHG emissions and indirectly by negatively affecting ocean organisms and climate .

• Over 300 million tons of plastic are produced every year for use in a wide variety of applications.
• At least 14 million tons of plastic end up in the ocean every year, and plastic makes up 80% of all marine debris found from surface waters to deep-sea sediments.
• Marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, which causes severe injuries and death.
• Plastic pollution threatens food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.
• There is an urgent need to explore new and existing legally binding agreements to address marine plastic pollution

We are V0!D, A team of three having distributed skillset in the field of Software, Robotics,UI/UX and IoT who aims to solve problems with technologies that creates an impact to the stakeholder’s life. From our school days we have been into different science projects which led us to pursue our career in Engineering field. Once stepped into the University life we have found ourselves having similar interest and that’s what motivated us to create a team.As a team we didn’t form just in a day. After starting university life, we continued our passion for technologies and started to participate in competitions as single peoples or sometimes with
random team mates. After a while we have found ourselves that we are meeting in the same competitions and sometimes competing ourselves. And then on 2019 we targeted a big competition Ësho Robot Banai"  and decided to participate together. While we had some other team mates on that team but the three of us has decided to participate in the Solve(ed) because of our recent experience on rural coastal areas. The three of us do share a dream that if we can come up with a prominent solution we can make a better environment by lessening plastic pollution for the life below water,a healthy ocean and a better planet.

Plastics in the Ocean Contribute to Climate Change.The presence of microplastics in the sea surface is a serious problem that can interfere with fundamental biological processes. These processes control the flow of important gases, like oxygen, between the sea surface and the atmosphere. Using oxygen, bacteria transform organic matter in the sea water and, in the process, produce CO2. When there is a lot plastic present, bacteria consume more oxygen. This is a problem because less oxygen will be available for other life. The ocean is the Earth’s blue lung: if we reduce its capacity to produce oxygen, we will change how this lung works. This is a problem because, when there is a lot of organic matter on the surface of the ocean, the flow of oxygen from the ocean into the atmosphere might slow down. The flow of CO2 from the atmosphere into the ocean might slow down as well. This is an even bigger problem, because our oceans are one of the prime sinks of CO2, meaning that they absorb a lot of the CO2 that humans emit to the atmosphere through fossil fuels combustion and that, in excess, causes the greenhouse effect and global warming. If the ocean takes up less CO2, the Earth could face unimaginable changes in its climate. The amount of plastic in our oceans is gigantic and keeps increasing. Therefore, we need to think hard about the consequences of increasing amounts of plastics in our rivers and oceans. It is important for all of us to join together with our families, friends, scientists, and society to find solutions to this global problem.

Here are some ways you can make a difference, starting today.

Reduce our Use of Single-Use Plastics

With growing concern over microplastics from ocean waste, autonomous underwater vehicles — AUVs ,we are proposing as a tool for cleaning up our seabeds.Using prototype we can clean a whole pond/water dump,if we trial it on river, our target is to collect 5kg plastics by coving least 5km area.After successful trial and test run,we aims oceans for our AUV to collect plastics from sea beds by roaming 20km area with 30lb wastes with 70hrs without refueling.

We have worked on software part detecting plastic using our trained data set,observe through web server. We are developing 3D model of our AUV . Since our project is a large scale one,we can not afford to build it without funding.We are trying our best to make a small prototype FIB that collects plastic from bottom water.If we get funding to build our AUV , we will start all day-night long work to build our ever dreamed AUV.We need industrial grade AUV thrusters,sensors ad so on,that we can buy from Blue Robotics if we get 10000 prize money . Also we need researchers support for data ad expert mentor support to achive our goal - Plastic Free Ocean :) , better marine life without man-made pollutions

Financial :- to build such large scale robotic project,it needs huge amount of money ,it costs a lot to buy thrusters,props,sensors and other materials to make our AUV

Also we need support from authority to test & trial this robot,expert mentor support and suppliance for materials.

We are willing to work with Blue Robotics

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are crucial to the upkeep and observation of our oceans, seas, rivers, and lakes because they help divers who carry out crucial tasks in the depths of our largest bodies of water. They also play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our most valuable natural resources.

The global autonomous underwater vehicle market size was valued at USD 1.5 billion in 2021 and reach USD 4.3 billion by 2026, at a CAGR of 23.1% between 2021 and 2026 according to https://www.marketsandmarkets....

In terms of revenue, the global autonomous underwater vehicles market size was valued at around USD 1.81 billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 6.45 billion, by 2028. Due to a variety of driving factors, the market is predicted to rise at a significant rate

Unmanned submersibles are pre-programmed to operate in three dimensions underwater are known as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Over the past ten years, there has been a significant advancement in the technology needed for the reliable deployment, mission control, performance, and recovery of AUVs.
