Patcay.com – Air pollution is a serious problem faced by many countries in the world, including Japan. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), air pollution causes around 7 million deaths per year in the world.
To solve the air pollution problem, various efforts have been made, including the use of technology. A Japanese company called CleanRobotics has developed a robot that can detect and clean air pollution.
CleanRobotics Technology
CleanRobotics robots use sensors to detect pollutants in the air. Pollutants that the robot can detect include nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and fine particulate matter (PM).

Once the pollutants are detected, the robot will use a laser to clean them. The laser will break down the pollutants into small particles that can then be cleaned by the air.
Advantages of CleanRobotics
CleanRobotics has several advantages over other air pollution cleaning technologies. These advantages include:
- Effective in cleaning various types of pollutants
- Energy efficient
- Environmentally friendly
Applications of CleanRobotics
CleanRobotics can be used in various places, such as cities, factories, and homes. The robot is expected to help reduce air pollution and improve people’s quality of life. In 2023, CleanRobotics tested its robot in the city of Osaka, Japan. The test results showed that the robot can clean air pollution effectively.
CleanRobotics plans to start marketing its robot commercially in 2024. The robot is expected to be an effective solution to the air pollution problem.
