Showcasing REMEDIES Innovation: Aerial Drone & AI by MOH
At the heart of the campaign is the Aerial Drone & AI Solution developed by MOH. This cutting-edge technology combines drones with deep learning algorithms to detect, classify, and monitor plastic litter in real time. It enables high-resolution, large-scale environmental monitoring with minimal human effort—providing dynamic plastic pollution maps, real-time detection, and actionable data.
