Ten-year-old Eric was shocked by ocean pollution while snorkeling in the Philippines. Driven by his love for nature and passion for robots and AI, he conceived an innovative solution.

Eric designed AI-powered machinery to collect and sort ocean garbage. His vision is a zero-waste world with pristine oceans, where pollution is history, and robots handle tasks, freeing humans to create and enjoy life. This idea was shared at a TEDx event. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.
