    The document describes WasteShark, an autonomous aquadrone developed by RanMarine Technology to remove floating plastic waste from ports and bodies of water. WasteShark is shaped like a catamaran and can collect up to 350kg of trash at a time with zero carbon emissions. It is being developed to autonomously return to a docking station once full to deposit waste and recharge batteries. The DFKI Robotics Innovation Center is supporting RanMarine Technology in developing an autonomous docking system for WasteShark.
