This 16-year-old built an autonomous AI-powered robot turtle that detects microplastics in water. The Canadian student created the turtle-inspired robot to scan water for tiny plastic particles using 3D holographic imaging and artificial intelligence. The innovative system can detect microplastics with high accuracy and won a major award and scholarship at an international science fair. The invention could offer a promising new way to monitor water pollution.
