NYC SEWER CLEANER

The sewer system in New York is a crucial municipal facility. If it gets clogged, the city's drainage system will have significant issues, and the entire city will be immersed in foul odors. Manual cleaning requires a lot of manpower and resources, and it also poses safety risks. I hope to solve this problem with mobile drones.

Whenever a sewer get clogged, the drone will detect blockages in the city's network, capture the obstructions, grind them up, and then dispose of them at the nearest waste drop-off locations.
