Waste and plastic in harbours and along the coast is a growing environmental problem. Aquadrone is a surface drone made to help with this by collecting floating waste. For the system to be useful in real situations, it needs a clear and reliable interface that makes it easy to follow what is happening, make decisions, and control the drone from different locations.
This project looks at how such an interface can be made to work well in different use situations. The work involved gathering insight about what kind of information is needed, how tasks are handled during operation, and what people expect from a system like this when it is part of their daily work.
The result is a two-part interface concept: one version adapted to mobile use, and one for control room setups with multiple screens. The concept shows how Aquadrone can be operated and monitored in a simple and structured way, and how different tasks can be handled clearly during active clean-up work.
