Roomba Watch Out
There are some new bots called OSP on the drawing board. Using advance robotics, these guys autonomously work together to contain an oil spill by surrounding it with an inflatable barrier. Once contained, clean-up crews can jump in and suck the oil out. After reading this, my Roomba just quit.
Designer: Ji-hoon Kim
With the help of its simple and modular structure, OSP unit can be transported to the accident site rapidly and commence its mission immediately. Like a torpedo and mine operation in navy, OSP can be deployed from a helicopter or boat and accomplish its mission through the multi-robot control algorithms.

See. Robots are good for something: tedious manual labor.
the thing is I bet everyone her can’t wait for the next oil spill to see these guys do there stuff.
These robots are slick!
this is truly awesome.what?this is just a concept and we wont see it until..well, ever?damn.give me a hand here optimism
looks expensive. why not spend the time and money on stopping it happening in the freaking first place!
I think this is an interesting concept but very far fetched. I don’t see it happening for many reasons.
I think we could also use this to collect ALL the PLASTIC in the PACIFIC Ocean! This is a land mass HALF the size of the continental USA! :/
