Project · Reciplasa Catamaran

Robotics in the service of the marine environment

An autonomous boat designed to collect plastic waste from the marine environment, developed together with the Reciplasa Chair and CIRTESU, Universitat Jaume I's underwater robotics institute. It's our project with the strongest environmental-sustainability angle.

Progress

From the swimming pool to the Port of Castellón

2024 — 2025

The project begins

We kick off development of an autonomous boat for collecting plastic waste, together with the Reciplasa Chair and CIRTESU (UJI's underwater robotics institute).

2025

First water tests

The catamaran runs its first pool tests, validating buoyancy and maneuverability.

2026 — 2027
