The Plastic Bag Eater

The Plastic Bag Eater is a bio-mimicked sea turtle. It is programmed with AI to always start and end its journey in the same spot (A beach where the owner is waiting, a dock, etc.). Also with AI, the PBE knows how to recognise a plastic bag and open its mouth to eat it. The shell is made of graphene so that nothing can eat it. When the inside of the PBE is full, it heads back to the programmed spot where the owner will be waiting. On the top of the shell are three small solar panels to charge the turtle.

Little Inventors team says

The Plastic Bag Eater is a wonderful way to clean up the oceans without disturbing the sea animals that live in it. Your drawing provides the perfect explanation of your invention. Your use of AI and a graphene shell to stop sharks eating them is a brilliant way to keep the plastics out of the food chain. Well done and keep inventing Sarah!
