C-Q Sand Robot concept can help stop coastal erosion - Yanko Design
Briefly

Coastal erosion presents significant challenges to seaside towns globally, as waves and storms erode beaches, harming wildlife habitats and endangering infrastructure. The C-Q Sand Transport Robot, inspired by the sea cucumber, is designed to mimic its natural sand-recycling process. It can efficiently gather sand from eroded areas and redistribute it, aiming to restore beaches. Featuring a durable, waterproof design and four tracks for mobility, the C-Q can operate day and night with onboard sensors ensuring safe navigation in both sand and underwater environments.
Coastal erosion is a growing problem for seaside towns worldwide, as waves and storms wash away sand, threatening beauty, wildlife habitats, and infrastructure.
The C-Q Sand Transport Robot is inspired by the sea cucumber's natural ability to digest and re-release sand, designed to move and replenish sand efficiently.
With its four tracks and intake system, the C-Q robot gathers sand from problem areas and releases it gently to rebuild eroded beaches naturally.
The C-Q operates continuously, equipped with sensors and cameras for safe navigation, capable of working both on and underwater.
