An Autonomous Barn-Cleaning Robot Wins Gold at an International Invention Expo
Robot para la limpieza de establos creado por docentes UC gana medalla de oro en Corea
To automate livestock hygiene, researchers built an autonomous robot that uses AI, geolocation and a hybrid power system to clean organic waste from barns.
The machine was developed at Peru's Universidad Continental by Diego Cajachagua Guerreros, Rodrigo Ortiz Zacarias and Olga Huari Huamán, and won a gold medal at KIWIE 2026 in South Korea. Its technology stack is sophisticated; its assignment is extremely practical: clean the barn.
AI, geolocation and hybrid power all converge on one mission: clean the barn properly. Advanced robotics is very good at getting real work assigned to it.
