The AI revolution is making waves in water management with cutting-edge robotics like the ORCA-SMURF. This intelligent cleaning robot autonomously patrols lakes and rivers, using advanced sensors to detect and collect floating debris with remarkable precision.  

Equipped with millimeter-wave radar and cameras, the robot navigates waterways while avoiding obstacles, efficiently cleaning 50-100 acres daily. Its 50kg capacity garbage basket handles substantial waste collection during continuous operation. The system's smart capabilities extend to water quality monitoring and safety alerts when fitted with a speaker system.  

Currently operational in over 60 Chinese cities, this innovation demonstrates how smart technology can tackle environmental challenges in urban rivers, lakes and reservoirs - proving robotics can be powerful allies in ecological protection.
