Students of Cochin Engineering and Technology College Developed First of its kind Robotic Device to Monitor River Pollution

To help Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, students of Cochin College of Engineering and Technology & MES College of Engineering, Kerala launch first of its kind robotic device to monitor river pollution.

First commercial Unmanned Surface Vessel developed by engineering students from India to detect and track water pollutants, conduct real time water quality monitoring survey with 3D mapping.

FENBOT operates both autonomous and manually controlled with a range span of 10km.

It can test the pollution level in rivers and can identify the source of the pollution in the water body.
