The WasteShark is a 1.5 metre long drone that works like an aquatic vacuum cleaner. It's modelled on the whale shark, which is a filter feeder that sucks prey like plankton into its mouth. As it swims through water, the WasteShark sucks in plastics and other rubbish, eating up to 200 litres of waste in a single trip. The drone is capable of swimming for up to 16 hours and can be controlled manually or set to patrol a defined area. https://watersource.awa.asn.au/technology/innovation/this-waste-eating-shark-drone-is-cleaning-up-waterways/
Globally US$30b worth of fruit and vegetable production is lost due to fruit fly, and US$18b in global trade is threatened by the pest. RapidAIM provides a service of real-time alerts for the presence and location of fruit fly using wireless trapping technology. This immediate data-driven decision service allows biosecurity agencies, growers and agronomists to respond rapidly to fruit fly detection to control the pest. RapidAim has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO. http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate2/RapidAIM
The gold content of mineral samples cannot be detected in the field, costing explorers time, money and productivity. DetectORE technology delivers a simple, cost-effective real time solution for detecting gold in remote locations, transforming the current workflow. Geologists will now be able to sample, analyse and generate ?real time? results, giving them the ability to modify work plans ?on the fly? and in the process efficiently manage people, equipment, time and costs. DetectORE has been supported by the ON Accelerate program at CSIRO.http://www.oninnovation.com.au/en/ON-teams/ON-Tribe/Accelerate3/DetectORE
