Autonomous Draper Drone to detect microplastics in the water

Microplastic pollution is everywhere, but its size—less than five millimeters in length—makes the threat almost invisible to the naked eye. That’s why Cambridge-based research and development lab Draper has teamed up with the Environmental Protection Agency and design firm Sprout Studios to create the Draper Drone, a concept for an autonomous underwater vehicle that implements Draper’s portable microplastics sensor.
