SoilRevive is an AI-powered microbial soil remediation system designed to treat heavy metal contamination. Once inserted into the soil, it adjusts the type and timing of microbial release based on pollution levels and plant recovery. Inspired by Arabidopsis, it releases microbes that transform heavy metals into larger, more stable compounds, reducing toxicity and mobility. It also mimics mycorrhizal networks, enabling system-to-system communication and resource sharing to improve overall efficiency and stabilityAn overhead camera monitors vegetation recovery, continuously gathering data to refine the remediation process and reduce the risk of secondary pollution.
