It’s been six weeks since the traveling treps of Unreasonable at Sea set sail. We check in with one young entrepreneur about his progress so far.

The Robot Launch Pad‘s insight:

Cesar Harada is building an open-source sailing robot to clean up environmental waste on the floating accelerator program Unreasonable at Sea. Harada is particularly hoping to tackle water borne radioactive waste from the 2011 tsunami in Japan.
