Water pollution is one of the most pressing problems on the planet. This problem worries not only individual specialists in this field, but also aroused interest among students of the Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey Aruzhan Kaimoldina and Nurbol Maktaev. In this regard, they developed a robot model for cleaning natural reservoirs from debris.
-When I started to study the problem of pollution of the world ocean, its ecological state shocked me. It is a pity that all this is done by human hands. Therefore, I decided to act and in September last year I started working on this project. I presented my idea at the annual Day of young inventors of our school. The project that I defended won the “Most Massive” nomination and aroused the interest of my teachers and friends. All this led me to create a model. However, in the process of creating a model of a robot, I needed a partner who would understand robotics to create an auto-controlled system, and I turned to Nurbol. He supported my idea, and we started assembling the model, – said 9th grade student Aruzhan Kaimoldina.
Nurbol Maktaev is the winner of the World Robotics Olympiad WRO 2020 LEGO. He is a professional in this field and has developed a model of several robots.
-Our goal is to create a robotic complex that would collect garbage from the surface of the water and from the bottom, at the same time, it would monitor the ecological state of the reservoir. We started to develop a working model for the model. The robotic complex itself was divided into two parts – an airboat and a mobile float mechanism. The airboat performs the function of moving the robotic complex through the reservoir along a given route. A movable float mechanism provides a collection of debris under and above the water. Our robotic complex will collect garbage above water, under water, using video cameras to monitor the state of the underwater world, its fauna and flora, – says 11th grade student Nurbol Maktaev.
In the future, we want to add chemicals that cleanse water from toxins and harmful chemical compounds to IGW, which would not harm or affect living organisms, and we also want to improve our complex and participate in the “Daryn” competition. In the future, we are thinking of applying for a patent.
