Waver is an innovative aquatic drone designed to restore and monitor dead zones in aquatic environments by generating artificial waves and collecting real-time environmental data. Equipped with smart sensors, solar panels, and GPS, Waver operates autonomously while monitoring key parameters such as temperature, pH, and oxygen levels. It integrates three AI models specialized in detecting plastic waste, oil leaks, and marine life, supported by a robust dataset for high accuracy. A user-friendly online platform displays live data and alerts, enabling informed decision-making for environmental management. Waver aims to support biodiversity recovery, promote sustainability, and offer a scalable solution to one of the most pressing ecological issues aquatic ecosystem degradation.
This is how I came up with the idea for this project:Growing up in coastal Tunisia, I saw our vibrant seas once teeming with life, decline due to pollution and hypoxia. Fishermen’s nets grew emptier; waters grew sicker. Waver was born from this crisis, blending my love for Tunisia’s marine heritage with innovation to heal the seas that sustain us.
