Vision / 核心理念

Bridging Heritage with Innovation / 連結傳承與創新

English Perspective

Inspired by Nereus, the wise "Old Man of the Sea," the project integrates historical wisdom with modern engineering. Technology should be a gentle intervention that restores our connection with the coastline.

中文核心敘事

我們相信科技不該只是冷冰冰的效率,而是一種溫柔的參與。透過 AI 技術的守護,讓家鄉的海岸重新回歸純淨,持續成為人們願意靠近的地方。

Technology / 淨灘系統

Invisible Guardianship / 無痕的守護力

Autonomous Intelligence / 自動化識別

Precisely identifies man-made debris while avoiding ecological habitats.

系統能精準辨識人造廢棄物,並在避開生態棲息地的前提下完成清理。

Elegant Locomotion / 優雅的運行

Minimal presence on the shoreline, leaving only a clean trail behind.

低衝擊的運行方式讓機器的存在感降到最低,留下的只有乾淨的海岸線。
