Mapping Plastic Waste From the Sky

We create detailed survey maps using autonomous drones and AI to track, detect, and visualize plastic waste across landscapes and waterways.

Our Mission

Making plastic pollution visible

Dodo AI builds drone-powered survey maps that reveal the true scale of plastic waste in our environment. By flying autonomous missions over coastlines, rivers, and urban areas, we capture high-resolution imagery that our AI models analyze to detect, classify, and map plastic pollution.

The result: detailed, actionable maps that help researchers, municipalities, and environmental organizations understand where plastic waste accumulates — and where to focus cleanup efforts.

How It Works

From flight to actionable maps

Step 1

Autonomous Drone Surveys

Our drones fly pre-programmed missions over target areas, capturing overlapping aerial imagery at high resolution. Each flight covers large areas efficiently with centimeter-level detail.

Step 2

AI-Powered Detection

Our machine learning models analyze survey imagery to automatically detect and classify plastic waste — from bottles and bags to larger waste concentrations — across diverse terrains.

Step 3

Tracking Pollution over Time

We generate georeferenced maps that visualize plastic waste density, distribution, and hotspots — giving stakeholders the data they need to act and measure impact over time.

Roadmap

Current project phase

01

AI Model Development Completed V1

Training and evaluating detection models on plastic waste datasets across different environments and conditions.

02
