16-Year-Old Boy Builds Bionic Sea Turtle Robot; AI Identifies Microplastics with 94% Accuracy
Inspired by snapping turtles, Canadian teenager Evan Baz designed a bionic turtle robot that can swim autonomously, and equipped it with a 3D holographic imaging system and an AI model to detect microplastic pollution in water, with a recognition accuracy of 94%. The research won an award at the 2026 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair. This technology is expected to make microplastic detection faster and more accessible.
