Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Global, the developer of the world-renowned destinations of The Red Sea and Amaala, unveiled a state-of-the-art robot to ensure that such stunning beaches remain pristine and free from any waste, SPA said on Friday.
The advanced electric robot was specifically designed to enhance the visual appeal of the sand and tackle the issue of plastic waste and debris, boasting an impressive ability to identify objects as tiny as one cubic cm.
It can be controlled remotely and has been meticulously crafted to deliver comprehensive and remarkable results while protecting the environment. With its exceptional flexibility, it effortlessly maneuvers around furniture and other obstacles that would pose a challenge for other robots. In just one hour, it can cover an impressive area of 3,000 square meters.
The robot will commence its operations at the Red Sea destination, helping to preserve the natural beauty of this world-class location and its breathtaking resorts. This achievement exemplifies Red Sea Global’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the beaches for visitors while promoting a harmonious balance between luxurious travel experiences and sustainable environmental practices.
The Red Sea destination welcomed its first visitors in 2023, coinciding with the inauguration of two hotels. Since September, the Red Sea International Airport, the primary gateway to this incredible destination, has been receiving regular flights.
By its grand inauguration in 2030, the Red Sea megaproject will host an impressive collection of 50 resorts, encompassing a total of 8,000 hotel units and over 1,000 residential units spread across 22 islands and six mainland sites. In addition to these accommodations, the destination will feature luxurious marinas, top-notch golf courses, and entertainment and recreational facilities.

South Korean rescue workers on Saturday pulled a man from a collapsed subway construction site near the capital of Seoul and continued searching for another believed to be trapped inside.

Im Gwang-sik, an official with Gwangmyeong city’s fire department, said the survivor was trapped about 30 meters (98 feet) underground in the rubble for approximately 13 hours, and was conscious when found and taken to a nearby hospital.

Gwangmyeong city authorities had earlier withdrawn workers from the construction site and halted traffic in the area after receiving reports that a ventilation shaft was at risk of collapsing.

Authorities were deploying dozens of rescue workers and vehicles and three cranes to search for the other worker who remains unaccounted for.
