​We all want a cleaner planet. But who’s going to dive into toxic lakes, navigate wildfires, or map melting glaciers - in real time?

​90% of environmental data is still collected manually - slow, risky, and expensive. In this futuristic EDGE session, Dr. Mirko Kovac unveils how technology will change this: with robots that fly, swim, and mimic nature.

​From drones that plant sensors deep in forests to fish-inspired machines that monitor oceans - this isn’t science fiction. It’s happening now.
