I designed, engineered and built the hull of the ClearBot (version of Feb 2021) for the ClearBot project at MakerBay for my former HKU students Sidhant Gupta and Utkarsh Goel.
Special thanks to Thomas Williams, Aurianne Ricquier, and Chicky Bhavnani who also worked hard on this technology.
This project has been getting a lot of public attention, in the Wall Street Journal, South China Morning Post, and other publications in China and India.
